| Gene Symbol | OCLN |
| Gene Full Name | occludin |
| Background | This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that is required for cytokine-induced regulation of the tight junction paracellular permeability barrier. Mutations in this gene are thought to be a cause of band-like calcification with simplified gyration and polymicrogyria (BLC-PMG), an autosomal recessive neurologic disorder that is also known as pseudo-TORCH syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene is present 1.5 Mb downstream on the q arm of chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011] |
| 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. [UniProt] |
| Cellular Localization | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction, tight junction. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 59 kDa |
| PTM | Dephosphorylated by PTPRJ. The tyrosine phosphorylation on Tyr-398 and Tyr-402 reduces its ability to interact with TJP1. Phosphorylation at Ser-490 also attenuates the interaction with TJP1. [UniProt] |
