QuickView for Occludin (gene)

Gene Symbol:

OCLN Homo sapiens

Full name:

occludin

Synonyms:

BLCPMG, PPP1R115, PTORCH1, occludin, phosphatase 1, regulatory subunit 115, tight junction protein occludin

Genomic Location:

N/A

Description:

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 p...

View Full Description

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.
