Recombinant Biotinylated Human Claudin 4 Nanodisc is expressed in HEK293 cells with a His tag at the C-terminus. It contains amino acid residues Met1-Val209 (UniProt accession: O14493).
Claudin-4 (CLDN4) is a key component of tight junctions (TJs) in epithelial cells. CLDN4 is overexpressed in many epithelial malignancies and correlates with cancer progression. Changes in CLDN4 expression have been associated with epigenetic factors (such as hypomethylation of promoter DNA), inflammation associated with infection and cytokines, and growth factor signaling. CLDN4 helps to maintain the tumor microenvironment by forming TJs and acts as a barrier to the entry of anticancer drugs into tumors.
