Target/Specificity | This Claudin 2 (CLDN2) antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 135-164 amino acids from the N-terminal region of human Claudin 2 (CLDN2). |
Dilution | IHC-P~~1:10~50 WB~~1:1000 E~~Use at an assay dependent concentration. |
Format | Purified polyclonal antibody supplied in PBS with 0.09% (W/V) sodium azide. This antibody is purified through a protein A column, followed by peptide affinity purification. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 2 weeks. For long term storage store at -20°C in small aliquots to prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
Precautions | Claudin 2 (CLDN2) Antibody (N-term) is for research use only and not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | CLDN2 {ECO:0000303|PubMed:31320686, ECO:0000312|HGNC:HGNC:2041} |

Function | Forms paracellular channels: polymerizes in tight junction strands with cation- and water-selective channels through the strands, conveying epithelial permeability in a process known as paracellular tight junction permeability (PubMed:20460438, PubMed:36008380). In intestinal epithelium, allows for sodium and water fluxes from the peritoneal side to the lumen of the intestine to regulate nutrient absorption and clear enteric pathogens as part of mucosal immune response (By similarity). In kidney, allows passive sodium and calcium reabsorption across proximal tubules from the lumen back to the bloodstream (By similarity). In the hepatobiliary tract, allows paracellular water and cation fluxes in the hepatic perivenous areas and biliary epithelium to generate bile flow and maintain osmotic gradients (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Cell junction, tight junction. Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88552}; Multi-pass membrane protein |

Background
Members of the claudin protein family, such as CLDN2, are expressed in an organ-specific manner and regulate the tissue-specific physiologic properties of tight junctions.
