Background
| Function | 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19114660}.; FUNCTION: (Microbial infection) Acts as a co-receptor for hepatitis C virus (HCV) in hepatocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19182773, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20375010}. |
| Pathway | |
| Protein Families | ELL/occludin family |
| Tissue Specificity | Localized at tight junctions of both epithelial and endothelial cells. Highly expressed in kidney. Not detected in testis. |
