Cldn11 Gene Summary [Rat]

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).

Protein Domains

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.
