Claudins function as major constituents of the tight junction complexes that regulate the permeability of epithelia. While some claudin family members play essential roles in the formation of impermeable barriers, others mediate the permeability to ions and small molecules. Often, several claudin family members are coexpressed and interact with each other, and this determines the overall permeability. CLDN1 is required to prevent the paracellular diffusion of small molecules through tight junctions in the epidermis and is required for the normal barrier function of the skin. Required for normal water homeostasis and to prevent excessive water loss through the skin, probably via an indirect effect on the expression levels of other proteins, since CLDN1 itself seems to be dispensable for water barrier formation in keratinocyte tight junctions.

Plays a central role during gametogenesis by repressing transposable elements and preventing their mobilization, which is essential for the germline integrity. Acts via the piRNA metabolic process, which mediates the repression of transposable elements during meiosis by forming complexes composed of piRNAs and Piwi proteins and govern the methylation and subsequent repression of transposons. Directly binds methylated piRNAs, a class of 24 to 3 nucleotide RNAs that are generated by a Dicer-independent mechanism and are primarily derived from transposons and other repeated sequence elements. Besides their function in transposable elements repression, piRNAs are probably involved in other processes during meiosis such as translation regulation (By similarity).

Nuclear factor kappa B (NFkB) is a ubiquitous transcription factor and an essential mediator of gene expression during activation of immune and inflammatory responses. NFkB mediates the expression of a great variety of genes in response to extracellular stimuli including IL1, TNF alpha, and bacterial product LPS. NFkB is associated with IkB proteins in the cell cytoplasm, which inhibit NFkB activity. IKK is a serine protein kinase, and the IKK complex contains alpha and beta subunits (IKK alpha and IKK beta). IKK alpha and IKK beta interact with each other and both are essential for NFkB activation. IKK alpha specifically phosphorylates IkBa. IKKa is expressed in variety of human tissues.

Cell surface protein involved in cell-cell-interactions via its interactions with neurexin family members. Plays a role in synapse function and synaptic signal transmission, and probably mediates its effects by recruiting and clustering other synaptic proteins. May promote the initial formation of synapses, but is not essential for this. In vitro, triggers the de novo formation of presynaptic structures. May be involved in specification of excitatory synapses (By similarity).

Podocalyxin is a member of the CD34 transmembrane sialomucin family. It is over-expressed on the podocyte foot projections and plays essential roles in kidney development and homeostasis, blood filtration and urine formation. It is also expressed on vascular endothelia, hematopoietic progenitors and a subset of neurons. Overexpression of podocalyxin may be linked to more aggressive tumor behavior. Podocalyxin antibody can identify podocytes in the urine (podocyturia) that may indicate glomerular disease, pre-eclampsia, and other kidney pathology.

Spermine synthase catalyzes the production of spermine from spermidine. Spermine, a polyamine ubiquitously present in most organisms, is essential for normal cell growth and differentiation. Because absence of spermine increases sensitivity of cells to anti-tumor agents, spermine synthase (and other polyamine biosynthesis) is an attractive target for anti-neoplastic therapy.

Nfasc186 (Neurofascin 186) is one of two alternatively spliced products of the Neurofascin (Nfasc) gene in rat; the other being Nfasc155. The establishment of paranodal axoglial junctions in myelinated nerves where voltage-gated sodium channels are concentrated at the nodes of Ranvier is determined by myelin-forming glia. The two isoforms of Neurofascin, Nfasc186 in neurons and Nfasc155 in glia, are required for the assembly of these specialized domains. These two major Neurofascins play essential roles in assembling the nodal and paranodal domains of myelinated axons and are essential for the transition to saltatory conduction in developing vertebrate nerves. Nfasc186 (Isoform 1) is expressed at the Nodes of Ranvier while the Nfasc155 (isoforms 2 and 3) are expressed in unmyelinated axons.

Nicastrin, a type 1 membrane glycoprotein, is an essential component of the gamma secretase complex which is critical for the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein and other membrane proteins. Nicastrin is widely expressed in different tissue types. This antibody reacts with immature forms of Nicastrin. Detection of higher mol. wt. mature forms is likely to be blocked by glycosylation in this region of the protein.
