Claudin-7 is a structural component of the tight junction that has been reported to enhance barrier function or, in other cases, forms paracellular anion (chloride) channels.

 

Antibody validation
This commercial rabbit antibody from Abcam (ab210796) is a monoclonal antibody raised against a synthetic peptide derived sequence with 150 residues of the C-terminal region of the human claudin-7 protein. Our validation included staining of formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded human duodenum, where the antibody decorated lateral membranes throughout the crypt-villus axis.

Immunostaining 
Antigen retrieval with Target Retrieval Solution, pH9 (Agilent Technologies, Cat. #S2367) for 40 minutes at 95°C.
