Rabbit Anti-Claudin 4/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Claudin 1-8 proteins are a family of transmembrane proteins associated with tight junctions. Tight junctions are specialized regions of cell to cell contact made up of network of strands that act as a molecular gasket for preventing the leakage of ions, water etc. between cells. They are abundant in luminal epithelial sheets where they maintain epithelial cell polarity. Different tissues exhibit different Claudin composition.
Subunit:
Directly interacts with TJP1/ZO-1, TJP2/ZO-2 and TJP3/ZO-3. Interacts with EPHA2; phosphorylates CLDN4 and may regulate tight junctions.
Subcellular Location:
Cell junction, tight junction. Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
Similarity:
Belongs to the claudin family.
