Gene:
tight junction protein 2 (zona occludens 2)
Gene ID:
209514
Symbol:
TJP2
Species:
1000
Description:
Tight junction proteins (TJPs) belong to a family of membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) homologs that are involved in the organization of epithelial and endothelial intercellular junctions. TJPs bind to the cytoplasmic C termini of junctional transmembrane proteins and link them to the actin cytoskeleton.[supplied by OMIM]
