Claudin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLDN2 gene.^[5]^[6] It belongs to the group of claudins.

Members of the claudin protein family, such as CLDN2, are expressed in an organ-specific manner and regulate the tissue-specific physiologic properties of tight junctions (Sakaguchi et al., 2002).[supplied by OMIM]^[6]

Function

Claudin-2 is expressed in cation-leaky epithelia such as that of the kidney proximal tubule.^[7] Mice that are deficient in claudin-2 have reduced reabsorption of Na⁺ in the proximal tubule, consistent with a role in paracellular transport. Similar results have been obtained with cultured cells, as overexpression in claudin-2 lacking cells leads to increase of permeability for small cations.^[8] Furthermore, claudin-2 has been shown to form paracellular channels for water.^[9]
