Tight junctions represent one mode of cell-to-cell
adhesion in epithelial or endothelial cell sheets, forming
continuous seals around cells and serving as a physical barrier to
prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the
paracellular space. These junctions are comprised of sets of
continuous networking strands in the outwardly facing cytoplasmic
leaflet, with complementary grooves in the inwardly facing
extracytoplasmic leaflet. This gene encodes a component of tight
junction strands, which is a member of the claudin family. The
protein is an integral membrane protein and is one of the entry
cofactors for hepatitis C virus. The gene methylation may be
involved in esophageal tumorigenesis. This gene is adjacent to
another family member CLDN9 on chromosome 16.1) Wu, Q., et al. Eur. J. Cancer Prev. 19(3):186-194(2010)
