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. Predicted to act upstream of or within axon ensheathment and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including lipid droplet; neurofilament; and tight junction. Predicted to be active in bicellular tight junction and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 22. Orthologous to human CLDN11 (claudin 11).

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Cldn11 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
