ZO-1

TJP1protein

ZO-1 degradation compromises intestinal-epithelial tight junctions, allowing pathogen-associated molecular pattern translocation and MI-risk systemic inflammation.

Pathway placement
Cascade stepOff-pathway / systemic markers
Confidencemedium
RationaleTight-junction scaffolding protein; intestinal barrier loss promotes systemic endotoxemia and vascular inflammation.

Druggability
Not assessed (no mapped human gene target).

Type I vs non-Type I discrimination

ScoresLow-confidence (proxy)
R — rupture / Type-I
42
C — non-Type-I
79
A — assay feasibility
68
E — evidence strength
32
T1DI (composite)
7
Specificity differential (R−C)-37.3
Non-Type-I axis panel
Does this marker also move in each non-Type-I setting? mag 0–3; higher means less Type-I-specific. n/a = no evidence retrieved, which is not the same as no change.
No non-Type-I axis evidence retrieved.
Tier: light (literature co-occurrence proxy — lower confidence). See the discrimination table for all markers.
