Claudin-18 (CLDN18) is a protein belonging to the claudin family, specifically expressed in stomach epithelial cells where it plays a crucial role in the formation of tight junctions [1]. Tight junctions are essential for maintaining the integrity and selective permeability of epithelial and endothelial barriers by regulating the passage of solutes and ions between cells [2]. CLDN18 has two tissue-specific isoforms, claudin-18a1 found in the lung and claudin-18a2 in the stomach [3]. In the stomach, CLDN18 is highly specific to the tissue and is a key component of tight junctions [4].
Research has shown that CLDN18 is involved in various cancers, including gastric cancer, where it can form fusion genes like CLDN18-ARHGAP [1]. Additionally, CLDN18 has been identified as a potential diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target in pancreatic cancer [5]. The expression of CLDN18 has been linked to different types of tumors, such as intestinal-type mucinous borderline tumors of the ovary and gallbladder carcinoma [6][2]. Moreover, CLDN18 deficiency has been associated with alveolar barrier dysfunction and impaired alveologenesis in mice, highlighting its importance in lung function [7].
Furthermore, CLDN18 has been studied in the context of tight junction regulation, with research showing its involvement in paracellular proton barriers in the stomach [8]. The expression profiling of CLDN18, along with other markers like Annexin A10 and SOX2, has been used to determine the origin of certain carcinomas [9]. Overall, CLDN18 emerges as a significant protein involved in tight junction formation, cancer development, and tissue-specific functions, making it a promising target for further research and potential therapeutic interventions.

There are currently no reviews for this product.
I am looking for some G1 phase specific markers. Do you have any suggestions?
For G1 phase specific markers, cdt1 and Ki67 are recommended.
Please be aware of the purpose of the experiment. Perhaps you could try staining the cells to identify the stages of cell division.
Are the product CSB-YP005498HU1 CLDN18.1 or 18.2?
The sequence encoding this protein is the sequence shared by CLDN18.1 and CLDN18.2, so it is both CLDN18.1 and CLDN18.2
