Assembled tight junctions regulation

The viscosity of mucus is affected by binding between calcium and the mucus, which probably arises from an ionic interaction with the sialic acid in the mucin. These variations are indicated by a change in the pH, viscoelastic properties, water, and protein content of cervical mucus. Calcium is needed to establish an intercellular contact and the assembly of tight junction in the cervical epithelium. Changes in extracellular calcium affect the permeability of tight junctions and play a role in regulating the production of cervical mucus.Prostaglandin concentrations... [Pg.1347]
