Cldn9 - claudin 9

Predicted to enable virus receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in bicellular tight junction assembly and cell adhesion. Predicted to act upstream of or within tight junction organization. Predicted to be located in cell junction and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Predicted to be active in bicellular tight junction and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 116. Orthologous to human CLDN9 (claudin 9). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
