Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Forms paracellular channels: polymerizes in tight junction strands with cation- and water-selective channels through the strands, conveying epithelial permeability in a process known as paracellular tight junction permeability (PubMed:20460438, PubMed:36008380). In intestinal epithelium, allows for sodium and water fluxes from the peritoneal side to the lumen of the intestine to regulate nutrient absorption and clear enteric pathogens as part of mucosal immune response (By similarity). In kidney, allows passive sodium and calcium reabsorption across proximal tubules from the lumen back to the bloodstream (By similarity). In the hepatobiliary tract, allows paracellular water and cation fluxes in the hepatic perivenous areas and biliary epithelium to generate bile flow and maintain osmotic gradients (By similarity).CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Na(+)(in) = Na(+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY K(+)(in) = K(+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Rb(+)(in) = Rb(+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Li(+)(in) = Li(+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Cs(+)(in) = Cs(+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Ca(2+)(in) = Ca(2+)(out)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY methylamine(out) = methylamine(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY choline(out) = choline(in)CATALYTIC ACTIVITY H2O(in) = H2O(out)SUBUNIT Can form homo- and heteropolymers with other claudins to mediate paracellular barrier and channel functions of tight junctions in response to physiological stimuli. Homopolymers interact with CLDN3, but not CLDN1, homopolymers. Directly interacts with TJP1/ZO-1, TJP2/ZO-2 and TJP3/ZO-3.INTERACTION The disulfide bond is necessary for pore formation, but is not required for correct protein trafficking.DISEASE The disease may be caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.SIMILARITY Belongs to the claudin family.
