Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in bicellular tight junction assembly and calcium-independent cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell-adhesion molecules. Located in bicellular tight junction and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 29. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 29. Orthologous to human CLDN14 (claudin 14).
