What is the function of this protein?
TjpP1, Tjp2, and Tjp3 are closely related scaffolding proteins that link tight junction (TJ) transmembrane proteins such as claudins, junctional adhesion molecules, and occludin to the actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:9707407).  The tight junction acts to limit movement of substances through the paracellular space and as a boundary between the compositionally distinct apical and basolateral plasma membrane domains of epithelial and endothelial cells.  Necessary for lumenogenesis, and particularly efficient epithelial polarization and barrier formation (By similarity).  Plays a role in the regulation of cell migration by targeting Cdc42bpb to the leading edge of migrating cells (By similarity).  Plays an important role in podosome formation and associated function, thus regulating cell adhesion and matrix remodeling (By similarity).  With Tjp2 and Tjp3, participates in the junctional retention and stability of the transcription factor Dbpa, but is not involved in its shuttling to the nucleus (By similarity).
What are the official names of this protein?
Tight junction protein ZO-1, Tight junction protein 1, Zona occludens protein 1, Zonula occludens protein 1.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the MAGUK family.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell junction, tight junction. Cell junction. Cell junction, gap junction. Note=Moves from the cytoplasm to the cell membrane concurrently with cell-cell contact (By similarity). Distributed over the entire lateral surface of the plasma membrane and other actin-rich structures (By similarity). Detected at the leading edge of migrating and wounded cells (By similarity). Colocalizes with SPEF1 at sites of cell-cell contact in intestinal epithelial cells (By similarity).
