UniProtKB description: Forms paracellular channels: polymerizes in tight junction strands with cation- and water-selective channels through the strands, conveying epithelial permeability in a process known as paracellular tight junction permeability (PubMed:18242218, PubMed:20727355, PubMed:23089202, PubMed:37100833). In intestinal epithelium, allows for sodium and water fluxes from the peritoneal side to the lumen of the intestine to regulate nutrient absorption and intestinal morphogenesis (PubMed:18242218, PubMed:20727355, PubMed:23089202, PubMed:37100833).
