Ocln - occludin Gene

Also Known as Ocl

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 18260

Summary

Predicted to enable protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of gene expression and tight junction organization. Located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; apicolateral plasma membrane; and bicellular tight junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Crohn's disease and pseudo-TORCH syndrome 1. Orthologous to human OCLN (occludin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
