Anti-Claudin 6 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the CLDN6 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 220 amino acid residues and a mass of 23.3 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. It is reported to be expressed in the liver, in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and hepatocarcinoma cell lines. A member of the Claudin protein family, it is known to play an important role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space. Other names for this target antigen include skullin. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. A number of Claudin 6 antibodies have been mentioned in research publications and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
