Summary: This gene encodes a member of the claudin family. Claudins are integral membrane proteins and components of tight junction strands. Tight junction strands serve as a physical barrier to prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the paracellular space between epithelial or endothelial cell sheets, and also play critical roles in maintaining cell polarity and signal transductions. This gene is expressed constitutively in the mammary epithelium throughout development, and might be involved in vesicle trafficking to the basolateral membrane. It is essential for NaCl homeostasis in distal nephrons. The knockout mice lacking this gene showed severe salt wasting, chronic dehydration, and growth retardation, and died within 12 days after birth. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
