Function | Forms paracellular channels: coassembles with CLDN16 into tight junction strands with cation-selective channels through the strands, conveying epithelial permeability in a process known as paracellular tight junction permeability (PubMed:18188451, PubMed:28028216). Involved in the maintenance of ion gradients along the nephron. In the thick ascending limb (TAL) of Henle's loop, facilitates sodium paracellular permeability from the interstitial compartment to the lumen, contributing to the lumen-positive transepithelial potential that drives paracellular magnesium and calcium reabsorption (By similarity) (PubMed:17033971, PubMed:25555744). Forms paracellular barriers on its own. In the peripheral nervous system, represents a major constituent of the tight junctions in Schwann cells and contributes to electrical sealing. During retinal neurogenesis, may regulate the barrier properties of tight junctions in retinal pigment epithelium, required for proper retinal tissue differentiation and vision (By similarity) (PubMed:17033971, PubMed:30937396). |
Cellular Location | Cell junction, tight junction. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Cotrafficks with CLDN16 from ER to tight junctions. Colocalizes with CLDN16 and CLDN3 in cell- cell contact areas of the TAL spatially separated from CLDN10b paracellular channels. |

Background
Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium- independent cell-adhesion activity.
