Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and paracellular tight junction channel activity. Involved in renal absorption and retinal pigment epithelium development. Acts upstream of or within apical junction assembly; neuronal action potential propagation; and tight junction organization. Located in several cellular components, including Schmidt-Lanterman incisure; mesaxon; and paranodal junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cerebellum; gonad; metanephros; and midbrain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in renal hypomagnesemia 5 with ocular involvement. Orthologous to human CLDN19 (claudin 19).
