Gene nameCLDN8
Protein nameClaudin-8
SynonymsUNQ779/PRO1573
DescriptionFUNCTION: Tight-junction protein required for paracellular chloride transport in the kidney. Mediates recruitment of CLDN4 to tight junction in the kidney. Claudins play a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium-independent cell-adhesion activity. .
