Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 9073
Gene name Claudin 8
Gene symbol CLDN8
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
HEL-S-79
Chromosome 21
Chromosome location 21q22.11
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
