Claudin1619
Claudin1619 is a putative member of the claudin family, a group of tight junction proteins that regulate paracellular permeability. The designation reflects its identification in vertebrate genomic data and its predicted molecular features as a tetraspan membrane protein typical of claudins. Like other claudins, Claudin1619 is expected to have four transmembrane segments, two extracellular loops involved in adhesion, and cytoplasmic N- and C- termini that can interact with tight junction scaffolding proteins.
