Application: Anti-Chloride Channel CLC-5 (Clcn5) antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a dilution of 1:200 using rat kidney membranes.
Biochem/physiol Actions: H(+)/Cl(-) exchange transporter 5 is a protein encoded by the CLCN5 gene in humans. It encodes a member of the CLC gene family of chloride ion channels and ion transporters. CLCN5 is highly expressed in endosomes of proximal tubule cells and is essential for endocytosis. Mutations in CLCN5 causes Dent′s disease leading to renal failure. It is also involved in low-molecular-weight proteinuria, hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis and renal failure. Majority of these disease-causing mutations in ClC-5 are misprocessed and retained in the ER (endoplasmic reticulum) and may alter intramolecular interactions within the full-length ClC-5 protein. CLC-5 plays a crucial role in the process of endocytosis in the proximal tubule of the kidney and mutations that alter protein function are the cause of Dent′s disease. It may act as an electrically shunting Cl- channel in early endosomes, facilitating intraluminal acidification.
Immunogen: peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 401-415 of rat CLC5. Mouse sequence is identical; human sequence is 14/15 residues identical.
