The UniProt recommended name is Clathrin light chain B (CLTB). This cytoplasmic protein associates with clathrin heavy chains to form triskelion structures that assemble into coated pits and vesicles mediating membrane transport.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFunctionally, CLTB antibody identifies a 248-amino-acid protein that stabilizes clathrin triskelia and regulates their disassembly during vesicle recycling. CLTB modulates the curvature and dynamics of the clathrin coat, influencing receptor-mediated endocytosis, synaptic vesicle turnover, and Golgi trafficking. It acts in concert with accessory proteins such as Hsc70 and auxilin during clathrin uncoating.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe CLTB gene is located on chromosome 5q35.3 and is ubiquitously expressed, with high levels in neuronal and endocrine tissues. CLTB's co-expression with Clathrin light chain A (CLTA) allows tissue-specific modulation of vesicular transport efficiency and kinetics. It contributes to receptor internalization and synaptic function.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePathologically, altered CLTB expression has been linked to neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders. Variants affecting clathrin assembly disrupt synaptic vesicle trafficking, leading to impaired neurotransmission. Research using CLTB antibody supports studies in endocytosis, membrane dynamics, and intracellular transport mechanisms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCLTB antibody is validated for western blotting, immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence to detect clathrin complex proteins. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStructurally, Clathrin light chain B binds to the proximal leg of clathrin heavy chains through its N-terminal domain and regulates triskelion assembly via its flexible C-terminal tail. This antibody enables analysis of CLTB's structural and regulatory roles in clathrin-mediated vesicle formation.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsidering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting:\u003c\/strong\u003e compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImmunohistochemistry:\u003c\/strong\u003e map target signal in tissue context and compare regions\/phenotypes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlow cytometry:\u003c\/strong\u003e quantify target-positive populations and signal shifts at single-cell resolution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSignal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAntibody notes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProt search — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb?query=CLTB - NCBI Gene search — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=CLTB - Ensembl search — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=CLTB - Human Protein Atlas search — HPA — https:\/\/www.proteinatlas.org\/search\/CLTB - PubMed (review) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=CLTB+review --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"Adding 0.2 ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500 ug\/ml \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53047312810349,"sku":"FY13138","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_0b82ba92-e8a7-4b80-8ec8-a7691e34e53f.jpg?v=1782237087","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/cltb-antibody-clathrin-light-chain-b-bha17136040","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
