CGN
Probably plays a role in the formation and regulation of the tight junction (TJ) paracellular permeability barrier. Belongs to the cingulin family. Localized on the cytoplasmic face of tight junctions of polarized epithelia and some endothelia. Expressed in pancreas, kidney, liver and lung, but not in skeletal muscle, placenta, brain or heart. 2 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported.
