Chloride is a critical component of all living cells.
Voltage-gated chloride channels regulate cellular traffic of chloride ion.
The chloride channels (CIC or CLC) performs several functions including the regulation of cell volume, membrane potential stabilization, signal transduction, and transepithelial transport.
Mutations in CIC genes have been linked with several human diseases including myotonias (Thomsen's disease), cystic fibrosis, Bartters syndrome type III, Dent's disease, and X-linked recessive nephrolithiasis.
In mammals, CLC proteins form a superfamily of at least 9 different genes (CLC1-7 also known as CLCN1-7 and CLK1-2 or CLCKa and CLCKb).
Additional forms of these proteins are obtained by alternative splicing.
All CLC proteins (~700-1000 aa) are predicted to contain 10 (possibly 12) transmembrane domains.Except CLC-1 and CLC-K1/K2 that are specific for kidney, most other CLC are widely distributed in various tissues.
Rat CLC-6 is 803 aa membrane protein (human CLC-6 869 aa; mouse 870 aa) (1).
Alternative splicing of CLC-6 generates 4 isoforms, CLC-6a-6d (2).
CLC-6a is the full length form, while forms 6b-6d are truncated at their C-terminus and they contain 4 TM (CLC-6b and CLC-6d) or 7 TM (form CLC-6c).
CLC-6a and CLC-6c are the most abundant isoforms with CIC-6a being the most abundant isoform with CLC-6a being ubiquitously expressed and CLC-6c being limited to kidney (1, 2).
CLC-6 also is expressed in testis, ovary, small intestine, brain, and skeletal muscle

Applications:Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blotting.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Western Blot: 1:1000-1:5000 for neat serum and 1-10ug/ml for affinity pure antibody using ECL
ELISA:1:10,000-50,000 for neat serum and 0.5-1ug/ml for affinity purified.
Control peptide can be used to coat ELISA plates at 1ug/ml.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

仕様
Size：100ul
Host：rabbit
Source Antibody：rat
Grade：Serum
Purity：Serum
Form：Supplied as a liquid, neat serum, 40% glycerol.
Specificity：The 19 AA rat control peptide is 100% conserved in mouse, rat and human CLC-6. No significant sequence homology is detected with other CLCs or other proteins. Control peptides, because of their low MW (<3kD), are not suitable for Western. It should be used for ELISA or antibody blocking to confirm antibody specificity
