Extra Details:: MaxLight™ 490 is a new Blue-Green photostable dye conjugate comparable to DyLight™488, Alexa Fluor™488 and offers better labeling efficiency, brighter imaging and increased immunodetection. Absorbance (491nm); Emission (515nm); Extinction Coefficient 73,000. Claudin-8 is a tight junction protein expressed in several mouse distal nephron segments, suggesting that it may contribute to the paracellular barrier that protects transtubular Na+, K+, and H+ gradients in the distal nephron. Caludin-8 decreases paracellular permeability to cations when overexpressed in MDCK-II cells, suggesting that it may function as a paracellular cation barrier. Caludin-8 is also found in the thin ascending limb of Henle, a segment of the nephron that is known to be leaky to Na+. Claudin-8 is expressed primarily in tight junctions along the entire aldosterone-sensitive distal nephron (ASDN) and in the late thin descending limb of Henle, consistent with its role as a paracellular cation barrier protein. Claudin-8 is found in umbrella cell tight junctions in the bladder epithelium. Expression of Claudin-8 has also been reported in the inner ear. Applications: Suitable for use in Immunohistochemistry, Western Blot and Immunofluorescence/Immunocytochemistry. Other applications have not been tested. Recommended Dilutions: Immunohistochemistry: Frozen sections Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Store product at 4°C in the dark. DO NOT FREEZE! Stable at 4°C for 12 months after receipt as an undiluted liquid. Dilute required amount only prior to immediate use. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer. Caution: MaxLight™490 conjugates are sensitive to light. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial prior to removing the cap. Note: Applications are based on unconjugated antibody.
