Name | TJP2 (HGNC:11828) |
---|---|
Function | Plays a role in tight junctions and adherens junctions (By similarity). Acts as a positive regulator of RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation, potentially via mediating downstream transcriptional activity (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell junction, adherens junction {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z0U1}. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell junction, tight junction {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z0U1}. Nucleus. Note=Also nuclear under environmental stress conditions and in migratory endothelial cells and subconfluent epithelial cell cultures. Localizes to tight junctions during initial stages of their formation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q95168} |
Tissue Location | This protein is found in epithelial cell junctions. Isoform A1 is abundant in the heart and brain. Detected in brain and skeletal muscle. It is present almost exclusively in normal tissues Isoform C1 is expressed at high level in the kidney, pancreas, heart and placenta. Not detected in brain and skeletal muscle. Found in normal as well as in most neoplastic tissues |

Background
This gene encodes a zonula occluden that is a member ofthe membrane-associated guanylate kinase homolog family. Theencoded protein functions as a component of the tight junctionbarrier in epithelial and endothelial cells and is necessary forproper assembly of tight junctions. Mutation in this gene have beenidentified in patients with hypercholanemia. Alternate splicingresults in multiple transcript variants.
