(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID49861
Official gene symbolCLDN20
Full nameclaudin 20
Aliases,-,
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.
