Cat. No. 474 005 |
50 µg specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use. Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze! |

Data sheet | 474_005.pdf |
ZO-1 (also known as TJP1) is a peripheral membrane phosphoprotein with a molecular mass of 220 kDa, located on the cytoplasmic face and is expressed in tight junctions of both epithelial and endothelial cells. (1) Two isoforms, ZO-1α− and ZO-1α+, have been described, which, as a result of alternative RNA splicing, differ by an internal 80 amino acid sequence. (2)
ZO-1 binds the transmembrane proteins occludin and the claudins linking them to cytoskeletal actin. (3)
