| Primary Identifier | MGI:1913100 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 56863 |
| 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 tight junction organization. Located in bicellular tight junction and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; forelimb bud; pituitary gland; sensory organ; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 116. Orthologous to human CLDN9 (claudin 9). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced allele exhibit severe and early hearing loss associated with degeneration of outer hair cells and increased perilymph potassium ion concentration.
