Anti-Clarin 1 antibodies are used for the immunodetection of the protein encoded by the CLRN1 gene. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 232 amino acid residues and a mass of 25.7 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. Alternative splicing is reported to yield 3 different isoforms for this protein. It is widely expressed across many tissue types. A member of the Clarin protein family, it is suspected to have a role in the excitatory ribbon synapse junctions between hair cells and cochlear ganglion cells and presumably also in analogous synapses within the retina. Other names for this target antigen include USH3, USH3A, Usher syndrome type-3 protein, and RP61. Gene orthologs have been identified in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish, chimpanzee and chicken species. Some Clarin 1 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. In addition, Immunohistochemistry is also a common application.
