Intercellular Junction Site
Synonyms
Definitions

The site of cell-cell contact containing a morphologically identified junctional complex joining the two cells. The Cell_Cell_Contact_Zone and the Intercellular_Junction are not the same. The junction only refers to the bridging complex and not the larger region where the junction resides. The intercellular_Junction is part of a larger cell-cell contact zone. The cell-cell contact zone may also contain additional junctions and cellular machinery related to the function of the junction.
