Claudin Group of proteins forming tight junctions between cells

Claudins are a family of proteins which, along with occludin, are the most important components of the tight junctions. Tight junctions establish the paracellular barrier that controls the flow of molecules in the intercellular space between the cells of an epithelium. They have four transmembrane domains, with the N-terminus and the C-terminus in the cytoplasm.

CLDN1

Claudin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLDN1 gene. It belongs to the group of claudins.

Tight junction protein 2

Tight junction protein ZO-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TJP2 gene.

CLDN4

Claudin 4, also known as CLDN4, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CLDN4 gene. It belongs to the group of claudins.

CLDN5

Claudin-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLDN5 gene. It belongs to the group of claudins.

CLDN3

Claudin 3, also known as CLDN3, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CLDN3 gene. It is a member of the claudin protein family.
