Primary Identifier | MGI:1913101 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 58187 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable structural molecule activity. Predicted to be involved in bicellular tight junction assembly; cell adhesion; and regulation of monoatomic ion transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within monoatomic ion transport. Located in bicellular tight junction; cytoplasm; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; lung; metanephros; olfactory epithelium; and submandibular gland primordium. Orthologous to human CLDN10 (claudin 10). PHENOTYPE: Mice lacking expression of this gene in the thick ascending limb of renal tubules display nephrocalcinosis, hypermagnesemia, and abnormalities in renal reabsorbtion.
