other info1 :
Biological Significance: Cingulin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CGN gene. Cingulin is specifically localized at tight junctions in epithelial cells, unlike ZO-1, which is also detected at adherens-type junctions in non-epithelial cells. During early Xenopus embryo development, cingulin is detected at a cortical localization, and then accumulates at apical junctions, unlike ZO-1 and other junctional proteins, that are targeted to the new regions of cell-cell contact via the lateral domain.
other info2 :
Immunogen: Cingulin antibody was raised in mouse using a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 4-24 of cingulin as the immunogen.

uniprot summary :
CGN: Probably plays a role in the formation and regulation of the tight junction (TJ) paracellular permeability barrier. Belongs to the cingulin family. 2 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Adaptor/scaffold. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1q21. Cellular Component: tight junction; cell junction; myosin complex. Molecular Function: protein binding; microtubule binding; motor activity; actin binding. Biological Process: metabolic process; transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; microtubule cytoskeleton organization and biogenesis
