Anti-Claudin-1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit

Claudin-1, also known as claudin 1 (CLDN1), seminal metalloprotease-1 (Semp1) and ichthyosis, leukocyte vacuoles, alopecia, and sclerosing cholangitis (ILVASC), is expressed at high levels in kidney and liver and at lower levels in spleen, heart, brain, lung and testis. Claudins are characterized with four transmembrane domains and two extracellular loops, required to form tight junction strands.

synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human claudin-1, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is highly conserved in mouse claudin-1 (single amino acid substitution) and in rat claudin-1 (90% identity).

Anti-Claudin-1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:

• immunoblotting
• immunofluorescence
• immunohistochemistry

Claudin-1 directly interacts with tight junction (TJ) -associated peripheral membrane proteins zonula occludens (ZO) proteins -1/2/3. Defects in the gene encoding claudin-1 are the cause of an autosomal recessive syndrome named ichthyosis-sclerosing cholangitis neonatal (NISCH). Claudins′ expression is altered in several human cancers. Claudin-1 is frequently up-regulated in colorectal carcinomas (CRCs), resulting in tumor differentiation and progression.
