DiseaseCholestasis, progressive familial intrahepatic, 4 (PFIC4) [MIM:615878]: A disorder characterized by early onset of cholestasis that progresses to hepatic fibrosis, cirrhosis, and end-stage liver disease before adulthood. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24614073}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
DiseaseFamilial hypercholanemia (FHCA) [MIM:607748]: A disorder characterized by elevated serum bile acid concentrations, itching, and fat malabsorption. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12704386}. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting distinct genetic loci, including the gene represented in this entry.
FunctionPlays a role in tight junctions and adherens junctions.

Subcellular LocationCell junction, adherens junction. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, tight junction {ECO:0000250}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. Note=Also nuclear under environmental stress conditions and in migratory endothelial cells and subconfluent epithelial cell cultures. {ECO:0000250}.
SubunitHomodimer, and heterodimer with ZO1. Interacts with occludin, SAFB and UBN1. Interaction with SAFB occurs in the nucleus. Interacts with SCRIB. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15975580, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17897942, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18823282}.
Tissue SpecificityThis 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11018256}.
