Target
-
Function
May play a role in the formation and regulation of the tight junction (TJ) paracellular permeability barrier. It is able to induce adhesion when expressed in cells lacking tight junctions. -
Tissue specificity
Localized at tight junctions of both epithelial and endothelial cells. Highly expressed in kidney. Not detected in testis. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in OCLN are the cause of band-like calcification with simplified gyration and polymicrogyria (BLCPMG) [MIM:251290]; also known as pseudo-TORCH syndrome. BLCPMG is a neurologic disorder with characteristic clinical and neuroradiologic features that mimic intrauterine TORCH infection in the absence of evidence of infection. Affected individuals have congenital microcephaly, intracranial calcifications, and severe developmental delay. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the ELL/occludin family.
Contains 1 MARVEL domain. -
Domain
The C-terminal is cytoplasmic and is important for interaction with ZO-1. Sufficient for the tight junction localization. Involved in the regulation of the permeability barrier function of the tight junction (By similarity). The first extracellular loop participates in an adhesive interaction. -
Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR. Dephosphorylated by PTPRJ. The tyrosine phosphorylation on Tyr-398 and Tyr-402 reduces its ability to interact with TJP1. -
Cellular localization
Membrane. Cell junction > tight junction. - Information by UniProt

Anti-Occludin antibody - Neural Stem Cell Marker (ab168986) at 1 µg/ml + Human liver lysate at 50 µg
Secondary
Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L)-HRP at 1/7500 dilution
Developed using the ECL technique.
Predicted band size: 59 kDa -
IHC image of Occludin staining in Human normal kidney formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section*, performed on a Leica Bond™ system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab168986, 5µg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
