tight junction associated protein 1 (peripheral)
Symbol
TJAP1
(may also be known as: None)
Organism
Human
Description
This gene encodes a tight junction-associated protein. Incorporation of the encoded protein into tight junctions occurs at a late stage of formation of the junctions. The encoded protein localizes to the Golgi and may function in vesicle trafficking. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. A related pseudogene exists on the X chromosome.
