Gene summary | | This gene encodes a member of the claudin family of tight junction proteins. The encoded protein is an integral membrane protein that may function in maintaining apical membrane polarization in tight junctions located between outer hair cells and supporting cells. Loss of function of this gene is associated with hearing problems. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq] |
