| Primary Identifier | MGI:106183 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 18260 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of gene expression and tight junction organization. Located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; apicolateral plasma membrane; and bicellular tight junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Crohn's disease and pseudo-TORCH syndrome 1. Orthologous to human OCLN (occludin). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice display gastritis, loss of gastric parietal and chief cells, gastric mucus cell hyperplasia, reduced gastric acid secretion, growth retardation, male infertility, seminiferous tubule atrophy, failure to nurse pups, mineral deposits in the brain, and thinning of the compact bone.
