Protein Domain
Type: Domain
Description: EpCAM (epithelial cell adhesion molecule), a stem and carcinoma cell marker, is a cell surface protein involved in homotypic cell-cell adhesion via intercellular oligomerization and proliferative signalling via proteolytic cleavage. Structure analysis indicate that it is composed of three domains: N-terminal domain, Thyroglobulin type-1A (TY) domain and the C-terminal domain. This entry represents the small and compact disulphide-rich N-terminal domain of 39 amino-acid residues [].

Description: Claudins form the paracellular tight junction seal in epithelial tissues. In humans, 24 claudins (claudin 1-24) have been identified. Their ability to polymerise and form strands is affected by the cell types [, , ]. They can also form heteropolymers with each other within and between tight junction strands []. Most of the claudins (claudin-12 being the exception) have a C-terminal PDZ-binding motif that can interact with other PDZ domain proteins, such as scaffolding protein, ZO-1, -2 and -3 []. They also interact with non-tight junction proteins, such as cell adhesion proteins EpCam and tetraspanins and the signaling proteins, ephrin A and B and their receptors, EphA and EphB [].
