Generic protein structure example

Claudin-17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CLDN17 gene.[1][2] It belongs to the group of claudins; claudins are cell-cell junction proteins that keep that maintains cell- and tissue-barrier function.[3] It forms anion-selective paracellular channels and is localized mainly in kidney proximal tubules.[4][5]
