CLDN4

(redirected from claudin 4)

CLDN4

A gene on chromosome 7q11.23 that encodes claudin-4, an integral membrane protein of the claudin family, the members of which form part of the tight junction strands and may play a role in embryonic and post-natal organogenesis and function.

Molecular pathology
CLDN4 is deleted in Williams-Beuren syndrome, a multisystem neurodevelopmental disorder.

Those genes included VEGF, BCL2, claudin 4 (CLDN4), Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1), and c-MET, and each was found to significantly predict recurrence-free survival following radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy.

2, CK7, CK19, MUC1, MUC6, CA19-9, MOC31, PSCA, mesothelin, an nexin A8, claudin 4, and claudin 18; (4) normal pancreatic ducts were usually negative for IMP-3, maspin, S100P, CK17, MUC2, MUC4, and MUC5AC; (5) 60% of adenocar cinoma cases showed loss of expression of DPC4/SMAD4; and (6) strong background staining was frequently seen with fascin (including staining for endothelial cells and stromal cells), PSCA, and annexin A8.
Benign ducts were frequently positive for CA19-9, mesothelin, MUC1, MUC6, MOC31, PSCA, claudin 4, and claudin 18, which limits the application of these markers in distinguishing DAC from nonneoplastic pancreatic ducts.
Normal pancreatic ducts and acini are usually positive for MOC31, PSCA, claudin 4, and claudin 18, which limits the application of these markers in the distinction between pancreatic DAC and reactive ducts.
