24 Feb 2024
Abstract excerpt
Claudins (CLDN1-CLDN24) are a family of tight junction proteins whose dysregulation has been implicated in tumorigeneses of many cancer types. In colorectal cancer (CRC), CLDN1, CLDN2, CLDN4, and CLDN18 have been shown to either be upregulated or aberrantly expressed. In the normal colon, CLDN1 and CLDN3-7 are expressed. Although a few claudins, such as CLDN6 and CLDN7, are expressed in CRC their levels are...
