CATEGORY

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane,junction,tight
text	extracellular matrix

basic FUNCTION	tight junction specific obliteration of the intercelular space
	is an obligatory protein for tight junction formation and barrier integrity in the testis
	creating charge specific channels in the paracellular space
	CLDN11 is a novel regulator in bone homeostasis
	CLDN11 functions as a potential tumor suppressor gene and silencing of CLDN11 by DNA hypermethylation promotes nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) progression

CELLULAR PROCESS

cell organization/biogenesis

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

text	potentially involved in CNS myelogenesis

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

major structural components of tight junction (TJ) strands

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	TUBA1B and TUBB3, were identified as the novel CLDN11-interacting proteins, and CLDN11 interacted with these two tubulins through its intracellular loop and C-terminus
	SNAI1 elicits collective migration in squamous cell carcinoma by inducing the expression of a tight junctional protein, CLDN11
