Gene information for CLDN10 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9071
Official gene symbolCLDN10
Full nameclaudin 10
Aliases,CPETRL3,OSP-L,
Gene summaryThis 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 expression level of this gene is associated with recurrence of primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Six alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been reported, but the transcript sequences of some variants are not determined.
