Gene information for TJP2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9414
Official gene symbolTJP2
Full nametight junction protein 2 (zona occludens 2)
Aliases,MGC26306,X104,ZO2,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a zonula occluden that is a member of the membrane-associated guanylate kinase homolog family. The encoded protein functions as a component of the tight junction barrier in epithelial and endothelial cells and is necessary for proper assembly of tight junctions. Mutation in this gene have been identified in patients with hypercholanemia. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
