Term Information

Accession: GO:0043296
Name: apical junction complex
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: apical cell junction complex, apical junction
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: A functional unit located near the cell apex at the points of contact between epithelial cells, which in vertebrates is composed of the tight junction, the zonula adherens, and desmosomes and in some invertebrates, such as Drosophila, is composed of the subapical complex (SAC), the zonula adherens and the septate junction. Functions in the regulation of cell polarity, tissue integrity and intercellular adhesion and permeability. Source: PMID:12525486, PMID:15196556, GOC:go_curators, GOC:kmv
