Facts about Tight junction protein ZO-1.
Necessary for lumenogenesis, and especially efficient epithelial polarization and barrier formation (By similarity). Plays a role in the regulation of cell migration by targeting CDC42BPB into the leading edge of migrating cells (PubMed:21240187).

The alpha-containing isoform is found in most epithelial cell junctions. The short isoform is found both in endothelial cells and the highly specialized epithelial junctions of renal glomeruli and Sertoli cells of the seminiferous tubules.
Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell junction, tight junction. Cell junction. Cell junction, gap junction. Cell projection, podosome. Moves from the cytoplasm to the cell membrane concurrently with cell-cell contact (PubMed:7798316). At podosomal sites, is predominantly localized in the ring structure surrounding the actin core (PubMed:20930113).
