Claudin-9 (CLDN9) belongs to the claudins family and is a transmembrane protein found in tight junctions with two extracellular loops and a cytoplasmic C tail. CLDN9 modulates the ion- and charge-specific permeability of the paracellular pathway in most epithelial tissues. It forms heterotypic interactions with other claudins to create cation-selective channels in the kidney and may contribute to the maintenance of alveolar barrier function in the lung. Deficiency is shown to be associated with autosomal recessive deafness, DFNB116. CLDN9 expression has been shown to be upregulated in certain types of cancer, such as endometrial cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma, and its knockdown has been found to reduce cell proliferation and migration in vitro.
