Summary: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and paracellular tight junction channel activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including bicellular tight junction assembly; calcium-independent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell-adhesion molecules; and regulation of intestinal absorption. Predicted to be located in tight junction. Predicted to be active in bicellular tight junction and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human CLDN2 (claudin 2).

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.
