Regulation of Paracellular Fluxes of Amino Acids by Claudin-8 in Normal Mouse Intestinal MCE301 Cells

The ingested proteins are catabolized to di/tri-peptides and amino acids (AAs), which are absorbed through various transporters in the small intestinal and colonic epithelial cells. Tight junctions (TJs) are formed between neighboring cells and restrict paracellular fluxes to mineral ions and aqueou...
