| Tissue Specificity | This protein is found in epithelial cell junctions. Isoform A1 is abundant in the heart and brain. Detected in brain and skeletal muscle. It is present almost exclusively in normal tissues. Isoform C1 is expressed at high level in the kidney, pancreas, heart and placenta. Not detected in brain and skeletal muscle. Found in normal as well as in most neoplastic tissues. |
| Post Translational Modifications | |
| Function | Plays a role in tight junctions and adherens junctions. Acts as a positive regulator of RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation, potentially via mediating downstream transcriptional activity. |
