Transitional epithelium is a stratified epithelium mainly existing in urothelium, urinary bladder, prostrate and intercellular adhesion is essential for cell to cell communication & these are existing where the epithelial tissues subjecting to traction & pressure. The prominent intercellular adhesions existing in transitional epithelium are occluding junctions (zonula occludens, zonula adherens (existing in prostrate), tight junctions, anchoring adhesive junctions between cells (desmosomes), gap junctions (connexins) between the cells. Some of the junctions are promoting intercellular adhesion in transitional epithelium.
