Cell-cell contact in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) involves adherent junctions, gap junctions, and tight junctions, which are primarily composed by E-cadherin, zona occludens 1 (ZO-1), and connexin 43, respectively. Here, we aimed to explore the relationship and interplay between these junction-associated proteins.
