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. Differential expression of this gene has been observed in different types of malignancies, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, hepatocellular carcinomas, urinary tumors, prostate cancer, lung cancer, head and neck cancers, thyroid carcinomas, etc.. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
该基因编码的紧密连接蛋白家族的一个成员。 Claudins是整合膜蛋白和紧密连接链的组分。紧密连接绳股用作物理屏障,以防止溶质和水自由通过上皮或内皮细胞片之间的细胞旁空间,并且还维持细胞极性和信号转导中发挥关键作用。这种基因的差异表达已在不同类型的恶性肿瘤,包括乳腺癌,卵巢癌,肝癌,泌尿肿瘤,前列腺癌,肺癌,头颈部癌,甲状腺癌等被观察到。或者剪接转录变体编码的不同异构体已被发现。[由RefSeq的,2010年5月提供]
