SYNONYMS
Claudin 4, CPE-R, CPE-receptor, Clostridium perfringens enterotoxin receptor 1, WBSCR8, Williams-Beuren syndrome chromosomal region 8 protein, CPETR1.
INTRODUCTION
CLDN4 encodes an integral membrane protein that is a member of the claudin family. CLDN4 is a factor of tight junction strands and takes part in internal organ development and function in pre- and postnatal life.
CLDN4 is removed in Williams-Beuren syndrome, a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting multiple systems.
DESCRIPTION
The CLDN4 Protein Human is produced in E. coli, and its molecular weight is 10.63 kDa. The protein containing 93 amino acid residues of the human CLDN4,10 amino acid N-Terminal HisTag residues and 8 additional amino acid PreScission protease cleavage site. The protein is a fusion protein consisting of two extracellular domains of claudin-4 linked together with the PreScission protease LEVLFQGP cleavage site.
