背景
This gene encodes a protein located on a cytoplasmic membrane surface of intercellular tight junctions. The encoded protein may be involved in signal transduction at cell-cell junctions. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014],
功能
domain:The second PDZ domain mediates interaction with GJA12.,function:The N-terminal may be involved in transducing a signal required for tight junction assembly, while the C-terminal may have specific properties of tight junctions. The alpha domain might be involved in stabilizing junctions.,PTM:Phosphorylated.,similarity:Belongs to the MAGUK family.,similarity:Contains 1 guanylate kinase-like domain.,similarity:Contains 1 PDZ (DHR) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 SH3 domain.,similarity:Contains 1 ZU5 domain.,similarity:Contains 3 PDZ (DHR) domains.,subcellular location:Movement of ZO-1 from the cytoplasm to membrane is an early event occurring concurrently with cell-cell contact.,subunit:Interacts with HSPA4 and KIRREL1 (By similarity). Homodimer, and heterodimer with TJP2/ZO-2 and TJP3/ZO-3. Interacts with occludin, claudins, CGN/cingulin, CXADR, GJA12, GJD3 and UBN1.,tissue specificit
