Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium- independent cell-adhesion activity. {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell junction, tight junction. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Disease Associations

Deafness, autosomal recessive, 29 (DFNB29) [MIM:614035]: A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11163249, ECO:0000269PubMed:22246673, ECO:0000269PubMed:23235333}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Liver, kidney. Also found in ear.
