CLDN14

Claudin-14 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the CLDN14 is_associated_with::gene. It belongs to a related family of proteins called is_associated_with::claudins.

There are also suggestions that CLDN14 plays a role in tumour is_associated_with::angiogenesis (blood vessel formation), as deletion of a single copy of this gene leads to tight junction defects and leaky blood vessels in a is_associated_with::mouse model.
