Rabbit anti-Human CLCA1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

A8K7I4

Target Species

Human

Target Name

CLCA1

Target Full Name

Calcium-activated chloride channel regulator 1

Target Function

May be involved in mediating calcium-activated chloride conductance. May play critical roles in goblet cell metaplasia, mucus hypersecretion, cystic fibrosis and AHR. May be involved in the regulation of mucus production and/or secretion by goblet cells. Involved in the regulation of tissue inflammation in the innate immune response. May play a role as a tumor suppressor. Induces MUC5AC.

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted, extracellular space. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Extracellular side. Note=Protein that remains attached to the plasma membrane appeared to be predominantly localized to microvilli.

Target Protein Families

CLCR family

Target Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in small intestine and colon namely in intestinal basal crypt epithelia and goblet cells, and appendix. Weakly expressed in uterus, testis and kidney. Expressed in the airways epithelium of both asthmatic and healthy patients. Expressed i

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the calcium sensitive chloride conductance protein family. To date, all members of this gene family map to the same region on chromosome 1p31-p22 and share a high degree of homology in size, sequence, and predicted structure, but differ significantly in their tissue distributions. The encoded protein is expressed as a precursor protein that is processed into two cell-surface-associated subunits, although the site at which the precursor is cleaved has not been precisely determined. The encoded protein may be involved in mediating calcium-activated chloride conductance in the intestine.
