Description: Connexin 43 (Cx43), also called GAP Junction Protein, alpha-1(GJA1), is a member of the connexin gene family which abundantly expressed in the heart and liver and was mapped to 6q21-q23.2. Connexin 43, the major protein of gap junctions in the heart, is targeted by several protein kinases that regulate myocardial cell-cell coupling. Mutations in the gene, which lead to abnormally regulated cell-cell communication, are associated with visceroatrial heterotaxia. Cx43 also plays a critical role in the physiology of hearing, presumably by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph.
Immunogen: An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human Connexin 43 (RASSRASSRPRPDDLEI) was used as the immunogen for this Connexin 43 antibody (100% conserved in mouse and rat).
Storage: After reconstitution, the Connexin 43 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20 °C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
