Abstract
Tetratricopeptide repeat domain 36 (Ttc36), whose coding protein belongs to tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) motif family, has not been studied extensively. We for the first time showed that Ttc36 is evolutionarily conserved across mammals by bioinformatics. Rabbit anti-mouse Ttc36 polyclonal antibody was generated by injecting synthetic full-length peptides through "antigen intersection" strategy. Subsequently, we characterized Ttc36 expression profile in mouse, showing its expression in liver and kidney both from embryonic day 15.5 (E15.5) until adult, as well as in testis. Immunofluorescence staining showed that Ttc36 is diffusely expressed in liver, however, specifically in kidney cortex. Thus, we further compare Ttc36 with proximal tubules (PT) marker Lotus Tetragonolobus Lectin (LTL) and distal tubules (DT) marker Calbindin-D28k respectively by double immunofluorescence staining. Results showed the co-localization of Ttc36 with LTL rather than Calbindin-D28k. Collectively, on the basis of the expression pattern, Ttc36 is specifically expressed in proximal distal tubules.
