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. The protein encoded by this gene is a developmentally expressed renal tight junction protein. This gene is expressed in the cecum, colon, liver and kidney of mice, but is not identified in rat tissues. Humans and chimpanzees lack this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]

What's a GeneRIF?

CLDN13 is a constituent of Sertoli cell tight junctions. CLDN13 is expressed throughout the seminiferous cycle and is localized to bicellular tight junctions.
Title: Androgen-dependent sertoli cell tight junction remodeling is mediated by multiple tight junction components.
Cldn13 is regulated as part of a stress induced erythropoiesis pathway and is expressed in tissues associated with haematopoietic function.
Title: Claudin 13, a member of the claudin family regulated in mouse stress induced erythropoiesis.
developmentally expressed claudin isoforms include claudin 6, claudin 9, and claudin 13
Title: Claudins 6, 9, and 13 are developmentally expressed renal tight junction proteins.

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.
