Tight junction protein ZO-2

An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox 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[edit]

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]
