Comment: Larazotide (AT1001) is an eight amino acid oligopeptide. Its sequence is derived from the zonula occludens toxin that is secreted by Vibrio cholerae. In human tissues larazotide acts to restore the intercellular tight junction complex [1-2] and regulates epithelial and endothelial permeability by antagonising the effects of zonulin on the tight junction protein 1 (TJP1). Larazotide was proposed for potential therapeutic application in celiac disease where tight junctions and intestinal permeability are dysregulated [3-5].
