Pendrin Antibody (C-2) is a mouse monoclonal IgG1 antibody that detects Pendrin in human samples through applications such as western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Pendrin is a crucial transmembrane protein encoded by the gene associated with Pendred syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder that is the most prevalent form of syndromic deafness, characterized by congenital sensorineural hearing loss and goiter. Pendrin is primarily located in the thyroid, inner ear, fetal cochlea, and kidney, where Pendrin plays a vital role in maintaining ion homeostasis. Specifically, Pendrin functions as an apical anion transporter in the intercalated cells of the proximal tubule and cortical collecting ducts, facilitating the exchange of chloride and bicarbonate ions, which is essential for renal bicarbonate secretion and overall electrolyte balance. Proper functioning of Pendrin is critical, as mutations in the gene can lead to significant health issues, including hearing loss and thyroid dysfunction. Notably, Pendrin expression is markedly reduced in thyroid carcinomas, highlighting Pendrin′s potential role as a biomarker in cancer research. With diverse applications and significant biological relevance, anti-Pendrin antibody (C-2) is an invaluable tool for researchers studying the mechanisms underlying Pendred syndrome and related disorders.
