Contribution of JAM-1 to epithelial differentiation and tight-junction biogenesis in the mouse preimplantation embryo

We have investigated the contribution of the tight junction (TJ) transmembrane protein junction-adhesion-molecule 1 (JAM-1) to trophectoderm epithelial differentiation in the mouse embryo. JAM-1-encoding mRNA is expressed early from the embryonic genome and is detectable as protein from the eight-ce...
