Anti-Claudin-5 Antibody (C15-1318-065)

General description

Claudin-5, a transmembrane protein deleted in velo-cardio-facial syndrome (TMVCF), seems to be involved in endothelial tight junctions. Claudin-5 has been exclusively found in the cell-cell borders of endothelial cells. Lower claudin-5 levels in sinusoidal endothelial cells could lead to their dysfunction during liver injuries. Levels of claudin-5 in tumor vessels could be a potential marker for hepatocellular carcinoma prognosis. The loss of claudin-5 function has been linked to carcinogenesis.

Specificity

This antibody recognizes Claudin-5 at the cytoplasmic domain.
