Cgn Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables microtubule binding activity. Acts upstream of or within bicellular tight junction assembly; epithelial cell morphogenesis; and microtubule cytoskeleton organization. Located in bicellular tight junction and brush border. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; pituitary gland; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human CGN (cingulin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Cgn often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
