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. Mutations in this gene have been found in patients with velocardiofacial syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms.

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.

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001124333.1

Status: REVIEWED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (1) represents the longest transcript and encodes a protein of 303 aa (isoform 1). A common SNP (rs885985) encodes a stop codon in the 5' coding region and thus, for some haplotypes, translation is predicted to initiate from a downstream AUG to produce a protein of 218 aa (isoform 2).
