| Background Descriptions | The membranes of myelinating Schwann cells are joined by tight, gap and adherens junctions, all of which are found in regions of noncompact myelin: the paranodal loops, incisures of Schmidt-Lanterman and mesaxons. Tight junctions help establish polarity in mammalian epithelia by forming a physical barrier that separates apical and basolateral membranes. Pals-associated tight junction protein (PATJ), the human homolog of Drosophila Discs Lost, is differentially localized in myelinating Schwann cells. PATJ associates with Claudin-1, CRB1 (a transmembrane protein that plays a role in epithelial cell polarity and photoreceptor development), and Pals1 (a Lin-7 associated protein). The PATJ/Pals1/CRB1 complex can form a tripartite tight junction in epithelial cells crucial to their integrity. |

| Function | Scaffolding protein that facilitates the localization of proteins to the cell membrane (PubMed:11927608, PubMed:16678097, PubMed:22006950). Required for the correct formation of tight junctions and epithelial apico-basal polarity (PubMed:11927608, PubMed:16678097). Acts (via its L27 domain) as an apical connector and elongation factor for multistranded TJP1/ZO1 condensates that form a tight junction belt, thereby required for the formation of the tight junction-mediated cell barrier (By similarity). Positively regulates epithelial cell microtubule elongation and cell migration, possibly via facilitating localization of PRKCI/aPKC and PAR3D/PAR3 at the leading edge of migrating cells (By similarity). Plays a role in the correct reorientation of the microtubule-organizing center during epithelial migration (By similarity). May regulate the surface expression and/or function of ASIC3 in sensory neurons (By similarity). May recruit ARHGEF18 to apical cell-cell boundaries (PubMed:22006950). |
| Cellular Location | Cell junction, tight junction. Apical cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Note=Localizes to the apical region at the start of epithelial cell polarization then locates to tight junctions as polarization is completed (PubMed:11964389). Localizes to the most apical strand of TJP1/ZO1 condensates during junctional condensation elongation (By similarity). Localized in the paranodal region of myelinating Schwann cells (By similarity). Localized to the leading edge of the actin cortex of migrating epithelia cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:E2QYC9, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q63ZW7} |
| Tissue Location | Expressed in renal tubules (at protein level) (PubMed:19755384). Expressed in bladder, testis, ovary, small intestine, colon, heart, skeletal muscle, pancreas and cerebellum in the brain. |

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
