A tight-junction protein normally found only in the embryo that reappears in ovarian, testicular, endometrial and lung cancers, making it a clean target for ADCs and CAR-T. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
Four-transmembrane tight-junction claudin expressed in embryonic epithelia and germ cells; silenced after development, re-expressed in cancers via epigenetic derepression.
| Cancer | Prevalence | Measure | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Testicular germ cell tumours | 90% | IHC positivity | ||
| Ovarian cancer | 50-60% | IHC positivity | varies by antibody and cutoff |
