CLDN19 - claudin 19 Gene
Also Known as HOMG5
Species: Homo sapiens
About CLDN19
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues, 22 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 11.6) and placenta (RPKM 4.9).
Summary
The product of this gene belongs to the Claudin family. It plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium-independent cell-adhesion activity. Defects in this gene are the cause of hypomagnesemia renal with ocular involvement (HOMGO). HOMGO is a progressive renal disease characterized by primary renal magnesium wasting with hypomagnesemia, hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis associated with severe ocular abnormalities such as bilateral chorioretinal scars, macular colobomata, significant myopia and nystagmus. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010]
