Primary Identifier | MGI:1859284 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 54419 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and virus receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within cell-cell junction organization. Located in apicolateral plasma membrane and bicellular tight junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo endoderm; epithelium; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CLDN6 (claudin 6).
