Research Areas: Cancer
Uniprot: O95484
Buffer: Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered PBS, 6% Trehalose, pH 7.4
Form: Lyophilized powder
Tag Info: C-terminal 10xHis-tagged (This tag can be tested only under denaturing conditions)
Purity: The purity information is not available for VLPs proteins.
Notes: The VLPs are expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293).Mix the sample gently by repeatedly pipetting it up and down. Do not vortex.Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended.Store the protein at -20℃/-80℃ upon receiving it, and ensure to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, otherwise, it will affect the protein activity.The immunization strategy should be optimized (antigen dose, regimen and adjuvant).

Biological_Activity: Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Human CLDN9 at 10 μg/mL can bind Anti-CLDN6/9 recombinant antibody (CSB-RA005508MA1HU), the EC50 is 24.93-35.47 ng/mL.
Relevance: "Claudin association with CD81 defines hepatitis C virus entry."Harris H.J., Davis C., Mullins J.G., Hu K., Goodall M., Farquhar M.J., Mee C.J., McCaffrey K., Young S., Drummer H., Balfe P., McKeating J.A.J. Biol. Chem. 285:21092-21102(2010)
Function: Plays a major role in tight junction-specific obliteration of the intercellular space, through calcium-independent cell-adhesion activity.; (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry into hepatic cells.
