Gene: CLDN12
Official Full Name: claudin 12provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the claudin family. Claudins are integral membrane proteins and components of tight junction strands. Tight junction strands serve as a physical barrier to prevent solutes and water from passing freely through the paracellular space between epithelial or endothelial cell sheets, and also play critical roles in maintaining cell polarity and signal transductions. This gene is expressed in the inner ear and bladder epithelium, and it is over-expressed in colorectal carcinomas. This protein and claudin 2 are critical for vitamin D-dependent Ca2+ absorption between enterocytes. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2011]

CLDN12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are highly specialized cellular models engineered to disrupt the expression of the CLDN12 gene, which encodes for claudin-12, a crucial tight junction protein involved in regulating paracellular permeability in epithelial tissues. These knockouts serve as instrumental tools for investigating the physiological and pathophysiological roles of claudin-12, particularly in the context of cell signaling, tissue integrity, and barrier function.
The primary function of CLDN12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines lies in their ability to facilitate the assessment of claudin-12's contribution to various biological processes. The knockout mechanism typically employs CRISPR-Cas9 technology, ensuring precise gene editing that leads to a complete loss of function. As researchers utilize these cell lines, they can delve into understanding how claudin-12 regulates epithelial barrier properties, mediates cell adhesion, and participates in signaling pathways associated with cancer progression and inflammatory responses.
In terms of scientific importance, these cell lines find applications in a wide spectrum of research areas, including cancer biology, gastrointestinal disorders, and drug permeability studies. By leveraging the CLDN12 Gene Knockout Cell Lines, clinicians and researchers can uncover the gene's role in diseases characterized by altered epithelial barrier function, ultimately aiding in the development of innovative therapeutic strategies.
