Other Information

**Key Characteristics** CLDN5 is a transmembrane protein with 18 transmembrane domains, consisting of four extracellular loops and four intracellular domains. It is expressed in various cell types, including endothelial cells, epithelial cells, and enteroendocrine cells. The protein is highly specific to the blood-retinal barrier and blood-brain barrier, where it plays a crucial role in maintaining the selective permeability of these barriers. **Pathways and Functions** CLDN5 is involved in various cellular processes, including: 1. **Cell-cell adhesion**: CLDN5 forms tight junctions with other claudin family members, ensuring the integrity of epithelial and endothelial barriers. 2. **Blood-retinal barrier formation**: CLDN5 is essential for the maintenance of the blood-retinal barrier, regulating the passage of ions and molecules between the bloodstream and the retina. 3. **Blood-brain barrier formation**: CLDN5 also plays a crucial role in maintaining the blood-brain barrier, regulating the passage of ions and molecules between the bloodstream and the brain. 4. **Endothelial barrier maintenance**: CLDN5 is involved in maintaining the integrity of the endothelial barrier of blood vessels, regulating the passage of ions and molecules between the bloodstream and the underlying tissues. 5. **Cell migration and angiogenesis**: CLDN5 has been shown to regulate cell migration and angiogenesis, influencing the formation of new blood vessels. **Clinical Significance** Dysregulation of CLDN5 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Retinal diseases**: Mutations in CLDN5 have been associated with retinal diseases, such as retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. 2. **Neurological disorders**: CLDN5 has been implicated in neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. 3. **Cancer**: CLDN5 has been shown to be involved in cancer progression, particularly in the formation of blood vessels and metastasis. 4. **Cardiovascular disease**: CLDN5 has been implicated in cardiovascular disease, particularly in the formation of atherosclerotic plaques and vascular permeability. In conclusion, CLDN5 is an essential protein involved in maintaining the integrity of epithelial and endothelial barriers, regulating cell-cell adhesion, and influencing various cellular processes. Dysregulation of CLDN5 has been implicated in various diseases, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target for the treatment of these conditions.
