摘要: The putative anion channel mCLCA3 (alias gob-5) is the third murine member of recently discovered family calcium-activated chloride channels (CLCA family). Preliminary data suggest that may play a significant role in diseases with secretory dysfunctions, including asthma and cystic fibrosis. In this study, protein was characterized biochemically its cellular subcellular distribution pattern established normal tissues. Polyclonal rabbit antibodies were generated affinity-immunopurified using synthetic oligopeptides corresponding to extracellular amino terminus polypeptide. After vitro translation glycosylation, proteinase K protection assay, heterologous expression COS-7 or HEK 293 cells, SDS-PAGE immunoblotting revealed structure similar previously CLCA proteins. A systematic light, confocal laser scanning, transmission electron microscopic immunolocalization virtually all tissues, identified exclusively associated mucin granule membranes gastrointestinal, respiratory, uterine goblet cells other mucin-producing cells. results be involved synthesis, condensation, secretion mucins.
