Product Properties
Storage Instruction
If unopened the kit may be stored at 2-8°C for up to 1 month. If the kit will not be used within 1 month, store the components separately, according to the component table in the manual.
This kit recognizes Human OCLN in samples. No significant cross-reactivity or interference between Human OCLN and analogues was observed.
Sample Type
Serum, plasma and other biological fluids
Additional Info
Tissue Specificity
Localized at tight junctions of both epithelial and endothelial cells. Highly expressed in kidney. Not detected in testis.
Post Translational Modifications
Dephosphorylated by PTPRJ. The tyrosine phosphorylation on Tyr-398 and Tyr-402 reduces its ability to interact with TJP1. Phosphorylation at Ser-490 also attenuates the interaction with TJP1. (Microbial infection) Cleaved by S.pyogenes SpeB protease.leading to its degradation. Degradation by SpeB promotes bacterial translocation across the host epithelial barrier.
Function
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. (Microbial infection) Acts as a coreceptor for hepatitis C virus (HCV) in hepatocytes.
