Important Note:
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
CLDN18 belongs to the large claudin family of proteins, which form tight junction strands in epithelial cells (Niimi et al., 2001 [PubMed 11585919]).[supplied by OMIM].
Gene References into function
- Loss of claudin expression may enhance the grade of malignancy of gastric cancer in vivo.
- We conclude that Cldn-18 is the dominant claudin in the TJ of SCE and propose that the change from a Cldn-18-deficient TJ in SqE to a Cldn-18-rich TJ in SCE contributes to the greater acid resistance of BE.
- Indicate that the PKC/MAPK/AP-1 dependent pathway regulates claudin-18a2 expression in gastric cells.
- Claudin 18 and annexin A8 are frequently highly overexpressed in infiltrating ductal adenocarcinomas.
- Claudin 18 staining can aid in diagnosis of gastrointestinal signet ring cell carcinoma.
- Increased expression of claudin-18 is associated with colitis.
- CLDN18.2 as a novel, highly attractive pan-cancer target for the antibody therapy of epithelial tumors.
