(claudin‐3 (CLDN3), a tight junction protein; in addition to Cldn3, including Cldn13, Cldn20) p. 2 (tight junctions were formed by the claudin family of proteins) p. 4 (Claudins, four‐pass integral membrane proteins, are the main tight junction components and the only proteins known that can form tight junctions de novo in cell culture)

They take part in the formation of paracellular barriers and pores that regulate paracellular permeability. MeSH tree structures: under Tight Junction Proteins; narrower under Claudins: Claudin-1; Claudin-2; Claudin-3; Claudin-4; Claudin-5)

F867 (Claudins are a family of tight junction membrane proteins that regulate paracellular permeability of epithelia, likely by forming the lining of the paracellular pore. Claudins are expressed throughout the renal tubule)
