Claudins, such as CLDN7, are involved in the formation of tight junctions between epithelial cells. Tight junctions restrict lateral diffusion of lipids and membrane proteins, and thereby physically define the border between the apical and basolateral compartments of epithelial cells.Keen T.J.; Submitted (SEP-1998) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases.Kalnine N., Submitted (MAY-2003) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases.The MGC Project Team; Genome Res. 14:2121-2127(2004).

Species
Homo Sapiens (Human)
Specificity
The antibody detects endogenous levels of Claudin 7 only when phosphorylated at tyrosine 210.
Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space.
Protein Families
Claudin family
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in kidney, lung and prostate. Isoform 1 seems to be predominant, except in some normal prostate samples, where isoform 2 is the major form. Down-regulated in breast cancers, including ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), lobular carcinoma in situ (L
Buffer
Rabbit IgG in phosphate buffered saline (without Mg2+ and Ca2+), pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.

Format
liquid
Purification
Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. Non-phospho specific antibodies were removed by chromatogramphy usi
