Familial hypomagnesaemia, Hypercalciuria and Nephrocalcinosis associated with a novel mutation of the highly conserved leucine residue 116 of Claudin 16 in a Chinese patient with a delayed diagnosis: A case report [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Sixty mutations of claudin 16 coding gene have been reported in familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC) patients. Recent investigations revealed that a highly conserved glycine-leucine-tryptophan (115G-L-W117)

American Journal of Physiology-Renal Physiology, 2008 Claudins are a family of tight junction membrane proteins that regulate paracellular permeability of epithelia, likely by forming the lining of the paracellular pore. Claudins are expressed throughout the renal tubule, and mutations in two claudin genes are now known to cause familial hypercalciuric hypomagnesemia with nephrocalcinosis. In this review,

Protein Kinase C Activation Has Distinct Effects on the Localization, Phosphorylation and Detergent Solubility of the Claudin Protein Family in Tight and Leaky Epithelial Cells [PDF]
, 2010 We have previously shown that protein kinase C (PKC) activation has distinct effects on the structure and barrier properties of cultured epithelial cells (HT29 and MDCK I). Since the claudin family of tight junction (TJ)-associated proteins is considered

PLoS ONE, 2017 Epithelia act as a barrier between the internal and external environments, and the movement of substances via the paracellular pathway is regulated by tight junctions (TJs). Claudins are major determinants of TJ permeability.

Functional Analysis of Gastric Tight Junction Proteins in Xenopus laevis Oocytes
Membranes, 2022 The epithelial barrier is crucial for proper gastrointestinal function, preventing the unwanted passage of solutes and therefore representing a prerequisite for vectorial transport.

Celiac Disease Monocytes Induce a Barrier Defect in Intestinal Epithelial Cells [PDF]
, 2019 Intestinal epithelial barrier function in celiac disease (CeD) patients is altered. However, the mechanism underlying this effect is not fully understood.

Intestinal barrier tightening by a cell-penetrating antibody to Bin1, a candidate target for immunotherapy of ulcerative colitis. [PDF]
, 2018 Patients afflicted with ulcerative colitis (UC) are at increased risk of colorectal cancer. While its causes are not fully understood, UC is associated with defects in colonic epithelial barriers that sustain inflammation of the colon mucosa caused by ...

Tissue Barriers, 2013 Since the discovery of Claudins more than a decade ago, much has been learned about their structure-function relationships. Claudins are tetraspan membrane proteins responsible for the formation of tight junctions. In this capacity, Claudins form a tissue-specific selective permeability barrier that is critical for the function of the tissue.

Intestinal Barrier Function in Gluten-Related Disorders [PDF]
, 2019 Gluten-related disorders include distinct disease entities, namely celiac disease, wheat-associated allergy and non-celiac gluten/wheat sensitivity. Despite having in common the contact of the gastrointestinal mucosa with components of wheat and other ...
