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
    modifications

    Phosphorylated 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.

This table provides a detailed overview of positive (tick mark) and negaive (cross mark) staining per sample type tested. The sections were incubated with ab216327 at 4°C overnight used at 1:2000 dilution (1.05 μg/ml) followed by a ready to use Rabbit specific IHC polymer detection kit HRP/DAB secondary antibody (ab209101). Counterstain was Hematoxylin.

    Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using ab93684 (Tris/EDTA buffer, pH 9.0).

    Lanes 1 - 4: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab216327 observed at 59 kDa. Red - loading control, ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.

    ab216327 was shown to recognize Occludin in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost at the expected MW in OCLN (Occludin) knockout cells. Additional cross-reactive bands were observed in the wild-type and knockout cells. Wild-type and OCLN (Occludin) knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab216327 and ab9484 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at  1/1000 dilution and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

    Occludin expression in HeLa is expected to be negative.

    Immunofluorescent analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 0.1% Triton X-100 permeabilized MDCK (canine kidney cell line) cells labeling Occludin with ab216327 at 1/100 dilution, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution (green). Confocal image showing membrane staining on MDCK (NBL-2) cell line.

    The nuclear counter stain is DAPI (blue). Tubulin is detected with Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Microtubule Marker (Alexa Fluor® 594) (ab195889) at 1/200 dilution (red).

    Secondary antibody only control: Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution.

  • Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Occludin antibody [EPR20992] (ab216327)
    Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Occludin antibody [EPR20992] (ab216327)

    Occludin was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg of Caco-2 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line) whole cell lysate with ab216327 at 1/40 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab216327 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366), was used for detection at 1/10,000 dilution

    Lane 1: Caco-2 whole cell lysate 10 µg (Input). 

    Lane 2: ab216327 IP in Caco-2 whole cell lysate. 

    Lane 3: Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab216327 in Caco-2 whole cell lysate.

    Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration: 5% NFDM/TBST.

    Exposure time: 1 second.

    The molecular weight observed is consistent with what has been described in the literature (PMID: 18647175, PMID: 19821483).

    Flow Cytometry (Intracellular) - Anti-Occludin antibody [EPR20992] (ab216327)

    Intracellular flow cytometric analysis of 4% paraformaldehyde-fixed, 90% methanol-permeabilized Caco-2 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line) cell line labeling Occludin with ab216327 at 1/60 dilution (red) compared with a Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control (ab172730) (black) and an unlabeled control (cells without incubation with primary antibody and secondary antibody) (blue). Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) (ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody.
