Objective: The overall permeability of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is regulated by specialized cerebral endothelial cells and their junctional complexes, consisting of adherens junctions (AJs) and tight junctions (TJs). Among the members of the glucose transporters (Glut), Glut1 is a unique molecu
The development of the bloodbrain barrier depends upon the formation of a closely regulated system of adherens and tight junctions. A prerequisite for a functional junction system is the linkage of transmembrane adhesion receptors (cadherins) to the cytoskeleton via catenins. The localization of spe
