What do the 'LOCK TAB and PROTECT TAB' choices on the tab Context menu do?

Right-click context menu on tabs shows Lock Tab and Protect Tab, but I cannot find any information on what each choice actually does. Can someone explain them to me?

Those contextual menu items are added by the Tab Mix Plus extension.
