{"symbol":"CLDN2","synonyms":[],"name":"claudin 2","description":"This gene product belongs to the claudin protein family whose members have been identified as major integral membrane proteins localized exclusively at tight junctions. Claudins are expressed in an organ-specific manner and regulate tissue-specific physiologic properties of tight junctions. This protein is expressed in the intestine. Alternatively spliced transcript variants with different 5\u0027 untranslated region have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":9075,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/9075","proteins":[{"symbol":"CLD2_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/CLD2_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Claudins (CLDN)","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Claudins+%28CLDN%29"}]}
