NTR: Paranodal junction #3950

Closed gocentral closed 9 years ago

gocentral commented 17 years ago

Synonym: Paranodal septate junction

Def: Found in vertebrates, it is a highly specialized junction between a neuronal and a glial cell, similar to Drosophila septate junctions. It flanks the node of Ranvier in myelinated nerve and electrically isolates the myelinated from unmyelinated nerve segments and physically separates the voltage-gated sodium channels at the node from the cluster of potassium channels underneath the myelin sheath.

As a child of Intercellular Junction GO:0005911 (not sure if it's also a child of Apical junction complex?)

PMID: 11395001 and 14630217

For Swiss-Prot Subcellular2GO mapping

How embarrassing -- it appears we had a process term but no component term. I've added GO:0033010; I didn't make it a child of apical junction complex, because the latter is defined as an apical contact between epithelial cells (not neurons).apical junction complex.
