OCLN blocking peptide
OCLN Antibody (C-term) Blocking peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes an integral membrane protein that is required for cytokine-induced regulation of the tight junction paracellular permeability barrier. Mutations in this gene are thought to be a cause of band-like calcification with simplified gyration and polymicrogyria (BLC-PMG), an autosomal recessive neurologic disorder that is also known as pseudo-TORCH syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene is present 1.5 Mb downstream on the q arm of chromosome 5. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2011]
Uniprot Description
occludin: May play a role in the formation and regulation of the tight junction (TJ) paracellular permeability barrier. It is able to induce adhesion when expressed in cells lacking tight junctions. Interacts with TJP1/ZO1 and with VAPA. Localized at tight junctions of both epithelial and endothelial cells. Highly expressed in kidney. Not detected in testis. Belongs to the ELL/occludin family. 7 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.

Product Notes
The OCLN ocln (Catalog #AAA9220285) is a Blocking Peptide and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "OCLN, Blocking Peptide" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
