About This Section
| EntrezGene summary for OCLN: This gene encodes an integral membrane protein which is located at tight junctions. This protein may be involved in the formation and maintenance of the tight junction. The possibility of several alternatively spliced products has been suggested but the full nature of these products has not been described. [provided by RefSeq] UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: OCLN_HUMAN, Q16625Function: 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 junctionsGene Wiki entry for OCLN (Occludin) |
