Specificity

Recognizes Ser368 phosphorylated Connexin 43. Connexin 43 (Cx43) is a member of the large family of gap junction proteins. Connexins assemble as a hexamer and are transported to the plasma membrane to create a hemichannel that can associate with hemichannels on nearby cells to create cell-to-cell channels. Clusters of these channels assemble to make gap junctions. Gap-junction communication is important in development and regulation of cell growth.

Immunogen

Epitope: phospho-specific (Ser368)
KLH-conjugated, synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser368 of human Connexin 43.

Application

Gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) and hemichannel permeability may have important roles during an ischemic insult. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of ischemia on gap junction channels and hemichannels. We used neonatal rat heart myofibroblasts and simulated ischemia

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited disorder with variable genetic etiologies. Here we focused on understanding the precise molecular pathology of a single clinical variant in DSP, the gene encoding desmoplakin. We initially identified a novel missense desmoplakin variant (p.R451G)

We have previously reported that protein kinase C gamma (PKC-gamma) is activated by phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (TPA) and that this causes PKC-gamma translocation to membranes and phosphorylation of the gap junction protein, connexin 43 (Cx43). This phosphorylation, on S368 of Cx43, causes
