TJAP1 tight junction associated protein 1 [ Homo sapiens (human) ]
Source: NCBI Gene (ID 93643)

Symbol: TJAP1

Full name: tight junction associated protein 1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: PILT; TJP4

Summary: 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.
