Target description

Claudin-6 (UniProt: P56747; also known as Skullin) is encoded by the CLDN6 (also known as UNQ757/PRO1488) gene (Gene ID: 9074) in human. Claudin-6 is a multi-pass membrane protein that plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space. Claudin-6 has two extracellular domains (aa 29-81 and 138-160), four transmembrane domains (aa 8-28, 82-102, 117-137, and 161-181), and three cytoplasmic domains (aa 1-7; 103-116, and 182-220). It acts as a receptor for hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry into hepatic cells. Claudin-6 is expressed in the liver, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells, and hepatocarcinoma cell lines. It is also expressed specifically in undifferentiated stem cells and can serve as a marker to purify stem-like cells from a mixed cell population. It is shown to play an important role during mouse embryonic epithelium formation and the development of endodermal tissues, and its level of expression is correlated with dedifferentiation and malignant proliferation of epithelial cells.

Physical form

Purified mouse monoclonal antibody IgG2a in PBS without azide.

Reconstitution

0.5 mg/mL. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Store at -10°C to -25°C. Handling Recommendations: Upon receipt and prior to removing the cap, centrifuge the vial and gently mix the solution. Aliquot into microcentrifuge tubes and store at -20°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles, which may damage IgG and affect product performance.
