Human Gene MPP7 (ENST00000375719.7) from GENCODE V44
Description: Acts as an important adapter that promotes epithelial cell polarity and tight junction formation via its interaction with DLG1. Involved in the assembly of protein complexes at sites of cell-cell contact. (from UniProt Q5T2T1) RefSeq Summary (NM_173496): The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the p55 Stardust family of membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) proteins, which function in the establishment of epithelial cell polarity. This family member forms a complex with the polarity protein DLG1 (discs, large homolog 1) and facilitates epithelial cell polarity and tight junction formation. Polymorphisms in this gene are associated with variations in site-specific bone mineral density (BMD). Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015].

ID:MPP7_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=MAGUK p55 subfamily member 7; FUNCTION: Acts as an important adapter that promotes epithelial cell polarity and tight junction formation via its interaction with DLG1. Involved in the assembly of protein complexes at sites of cell-cell contact. SUBUNIT: Heterodimer; able to heterodimerize via its C-terminal L27 domain with LIN7A, LIN7B and LIN7C. Forms a tripartite complex composed of DLG1, MPP7 and LIN7 (LIN7A or LIN7C). Interacts with DLG1 via its N-terminal L27 domain. Interacts with MPP5 and INADL/PATJ. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cell junction, tight junction. Cell junction, adherens junction. INDUCTION: Down-regulated in patients suffering of passive Heymann nephritis (at protein level). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the MAGUK family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 guanylate kinase-like domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 2 L27 domains. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PDZ (DHR) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 SH3 domain. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=CAI12709.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Sequence=CAI13640.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; Sequence=CAI17344.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction;
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
