CLDN6
Description
The CLDN6 (claudin 6) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.
Claudin-6 is a protein encoded by the CLDN6 gene in humans. It belongs to the claudin family of proteins. While knockout mice lacking the equivalent gene do not show any significant developmental or health issues, indicating that claudin-6 is not crucial for normal development and homeostasis in mice. The gene's location and details can be found on the UCSC Genome Browser.
Claudin-6 plays a crucial role in forming tight junctions, which are essential for sealing the spaces between cells and preventing leakage.
CLDN6 is also known as -.
