Function |
Involved in the establishment of cell polarity in mammalian epithelial cells. Regulates the morphogenesis of tight junctions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12771187, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14718572}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Apical cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Cell junction, tight junction. Note=Localizes primarily to the apical membrane with a small fraction in the upper part of tight junctions of epithelial cells.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Preferentially expressed in epithelial tissues. Expressed at high levels in lung, kidney, retina, colon and mammary glands. Expressed at moderate levels in liver, spleen, pancreas, placenta and prostate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12527193, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14718572}.
