Claudin-10 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLDN10 gene. It belongs to the group of claudins.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.
