Background

Tight junction protein ZO-2 is a 160 kDa protein that was first identified by its co-immunoprecipitation with ZO-1 in epithelial cells (1). ZO-2 is encoded by the TJP2 gene, which is located on human chromosome 9 q21.11 (2). ZO-2 is associated with the cytoplasmic surface of tight junctions (TJs), but in non-epithelial cells such as fibroblasts, which do not have TJs, ZO-2 concentrates at adherens junctions (3).
The zona occludens proteins ZO-1, -2 and -3 (also known as TJP1, 2 and 3) are peripheral membrane adaptor proteins that link transmembrane junctional proteins, such as occludin and claudin, to the actin cytoskeleton (4).
