Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 100132463
Gene name Claudin 24
Gene symbol CLDN24
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CLDN21
Chromosome 4
Chromosome location 4q35.1
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 paracellula
