Tight junction protein 2
Introduction
Tight junction protein ZO-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TJP2 gene.[1]
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].[2]
Interactions
Interactions
Tight junction protein 2 has been shown to interact with tight junction protein 1,[3][4][5] band 4.1[6], occludin[3][4][7] and USP53.[8]
