Cellular Localization
Cell junction, tight junction . Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein . Localizes to tight junctions in epithelial cells. .
Tissue Expression
Isoform A1: Expression is restricted to the lung (PubMed:19047087). Isoform A2: Expression is restricted to the stomach mucosa where it is predominantly observed in the epithelial cells of the pit region and the base of the gastric glands including exocrine and endocrine cells (at protein level) (PubMed:19047087).
Signaling_pathway
Cellular Processes >> Cellular community - eukaryotes >> Tight junction;Organismal Systems >> Immune system >> Leukocyte transendothelial migration;Environmental Information Processing >> Signaling molecules and interaction >> Cell adhesion molecules
Function:Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium-independent cell-adhesion activity.,similarity:Belongs to the claudin family.,tissue specificity:Concentrated at the cell-cell borders of epithelial cells.,
