Anti-Claudin-1/CLDN1 Antibody, clone 7A5

Descrição detalhada : Claudin-1 (UniProt O95832; also known as Senescence-associated epithelial membrane protein) is encoded by the CLDN1 (also known as CLD1, ILVASC, NISCH, SEMP1) gene (ORF UNQ481/PRO944; Gene ID 9076) in human. Tight junctions (TJs) are highly specialized membrane barriers that block the free passage of small molecules, microorganisms, and cells across the paracellular space, as well as provide a physical barrier between the apical and basolateral membrane domains of a polarized epithelial cell. Claudins are TJ proteins whose main function is to regulate the passage of ions across the paracellular space. There exist at least 27 human claudins with differential epithelial expression patterns, allowing tissue-specific paracellular transport of ions. Claudin-1 is expressed on apical and basolateral surfaces of hepatocytes in normal liver tissue. Claudin-1 is a known host factor for hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry via interaction with CD81 and cell-to-cell HCV transmission. Claudin-1 is a four-transmembrane (a.a. 8-28, 82-102, 116-136, 164-184) protein, having both its N- and C-terminal ends exposed cytoplasmically (a.a. 1-7 & 185-211).
