- Background
- TJP2 (Tight Junction Protein 2), also known as Zona Occludens 2 or ZO2, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TJP2 gene. 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. Duclos et al. (1994) mapped the TJP2 gene telomeric to the Friedreich ataxia critical region on chromosome 9q13-q21. TJP2 lies about 70 kb centromeric to the X123 gene and is transcribed in the centromere-to-telomere ion. Using in vitro assays and immunoprecipitation studies, Itoh et al. (1999) showed that the mouse Tjp1, Tjp2, and Tjp3 PDZ1 domains interacted with the C-terminal cytoplasmic domains of Cldn1 through Cldn8. In the mouse inner ear, Walsh et al. (2010) found that Tjp2 expression decreased rapidly between E16.5 and age 1 week to a level in adult mice that was approximately 50% of the level at birth (P0).

- Tissue Specificity
- Type I isoforms are the predominant forms expressed in the endocardium. Isoform alpha is expressed in breast, ovary, testis, prostate, heart, skeletal muscle, lung, placenta liver, kidney, salivary gland, small intestine and brain, but not in uterus, stomach, pancreas, and spleen. Isoform 3 is the predominant form in mesenchymal cells and in non-neuronal organs, whereas isoform 6 is the major neuronal form. Isoform 8 is expressed in spinal cord and brain. Isoform 9 is the major form in skeletal muscle cells; in the nervous system it is expressed in spinal cord and brain. Also detected in adult heart, placenta, lung, liver, kidney, and pancreas. Isoform 10 is expressed in nervous system: spinal cord motor neurons, dorsal root ganglion neurons, and brain. Predominant isoform expressed in sensory and motor neurons. Not detected in adult heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney, and pancreas. Not expressed in fetal lung, liver and kidney. Type IV isoforms are brain-specific. .
