Tight junction protein ZO-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TJP2 gene.[1]

Tight junction proteins (TJPs) belong to a family of membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) homologs that are involved in the organization of epithelial and endothelial intercellular junctions. TJPs bind to the cytoplasmic C termini of junctional transmembrane proteins and link them to the actin cytoskeleton.[supplied by OMIM][2]

Interactions

Tight junction protein 2 has been shown to interact with Tight junction protein 1,[3][4][5] Band 4.1[6] and Occludin.[3][4][7]
