Gene(ID):
Expression:
Q16625 OCLN_HUMAN:

Localized at tight junctions of both epithelial and endothelial cells. Highly expressed in kidney. Not detected in testis.

Description:
This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that is required for cytokine-induced regulation of the tight junction paracellular permeability barrier. Mutations in this gene are thought to be a cause of band-like calcification with simplified gyration and polymicrogyria (BLC-PMG),an autosomal recessive neurologic disorder that is also known as pseudo-TORCH syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene is present 1.5 Mb downstream on the q arm of chromosome 5.

Research Backgrounds

Function:

May play a role in the formation and regulation of the tight junction (TJ) paracellular permeability barrier. It is able to induce adhesion when expressed in cells lacking tight junctions.

PTMs:

Dephosphorylated by PTPRJ. The tyrosine phosphorylation on Tyr-398 and Tyr-402 reduces its ability to interact with TJP1. Phosphorylation at Ser-490 also attenuates the interaction with TJP1.

Subcellular Location:

Cell membrane>Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction>Tight junction.

Tissue Specificity:

Localized at tight junctions of both epithelial and endothelial cells. Highly expressed in kidney. Not detected in testis.

Family&Domains:

The C-terminal is cytoplasmic and is important for interaction with ZO-1. Sufficient for the tight junction localization. Involved in the regulation of the permeability barrier function of the tight junction (By similarity). The first extracellular loop participates in an adhesive interaction.

Belongs to the ELL/occludin family.
