Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cell adhesion molecule binding activity and protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including bicellular tight junction assembly; negative regulation of protein-containing complex assembly; and positive regulation of cell motility. Located in several cellular components, including apicolateral plasma membrane; basolateral plasma membrane; and lateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; olfactory epithelium; respiratory system; and urinary system. Orthologous to human CLDN7 (claudin 7).
