Claudin-3/CLDN3 Protein, Human (His-B2M)

Claudin-3/CLDN3 proteins play a critical role in tight junctions, eliminating intercellular spaces through calcium-independent cell adhesion activity. It exhibits multifunctionality by forming homo- and heteropolymers with other CLDN members, including CLDN1 and CLDN2. Claudin-3/CLDN3 Protein, Human (His-B2M) is the recombinant human-derived Claudin-3/CLDN3 protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-6*His, B2M labeled tag. The total length of Claudin-3/CLDN3 Protein, Human (His-B2M) is 51 a.a., with molecular weight of ~19.7 kDa.

Claudin-3/CLDN3 Protein assumes a crucial role in the specific obliteration of the intercellular space within tight junctions, employing calcium-independent cell-adhesion activity. This protein demonstrates its versatility by forming both homo- and heteropolymers with other CLDN members, including interactions with CLDN1 and CLDN2 homopolymers. Additionally, Claudin-3/CLDN3 directly engages with tight junction-associated proteins TJP1/ZO-1, TJP2/ZO-2, and TJP3/ZO-3, emphasizing its integral role in the assembly and maintenance of tight junction complexes. The ability to form polymers and interact with key junctional components highlights Claudin-3/CLDN3's significance in regulating cell adhesion and the structural integrity of intercellular spaces.
