  • Exocrine gland tight junction-constituting protein jeap family
    Patent number: 7824676
    Abstract: A mouse cDNA library from gene fragments encoding proteins localizing at cell-cell junctions was screened by a technique visualizing localization of a protein to identify a junction-enriched and -associated protein, JEAP. GenBank homology search was performed based on the sequence. Based on the obtained sequence, a mouse cDNA library was screened to identify JEAP-2. By using prepared antibodies against these proteins, it was revealed that these proteins express specifically at tight junctions, in particular, tight junctions in exocrine glands.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 15, 2006
    Date of Patent: November 2, 2010
    Assignee: Eisai R&D Management Co., Ltd.
    Inventors: Miyuki Nishimura, Mayumi Asano, Yuichi Ono, Koji Morimoto, Masakazu Takeuchi, Yoko Inoue, Toshio Imai, Yoshimi Takai
