1.H.1.1.4
Claudin 23 (function unknown; distantly related to most claudins including Cldn 22). Related to cancer invasion/metastasis; it may regulate these phenomena through activation of the MEK signalling pathway in pancreatic cancer (Wang et al., 2010). Shows reduced levels in atopic dermatitis (De Benedetto et al., 2011).
