General description
Mouse Connexin 43 is a 382 amino acid gap junction protein withmouse connexin
a predicted M.W. of ~43 kDa. It is prominently expressed in heart (see reviews: Kumar & Giula 1996; White et al. 1995; Evans 1994; Beyer et al. 1990).
a predicted M.W. of ~43 kDa. It is prominently expressed in heart (see reviews: Kumar & Giula 1996; White et al. 1995; Evans 1994; Beyer et al. 1990).
Specificity
Mouse Cx43 immunogenic peptide sequence is specific for Cx43 and no significant homology is seen with other connexins. The mouse Cx43 peptide sequence shows 100% conserved with rat and bovine, and 84% with chicken and human (16/19 aa) Cx43 (Beyer et al. 1985; Nicholson et al. 1985; John et al. 1991; Fishman et al. 1990).
Immunogen
KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide
corresponding to amino acids 360-382 within
the C-terminus of mouse connexin 43.

Application
ELISA: 1:10,000-100,000 using 50 - 100 ng Cx43 control peptide per well.
Immunocytochemistry: not tested. It is recommended that the antibody be tried at 2-20μg/mL in formaldehyde fixed (Beyer et al. 1985; Nicholson et al. 1985; John et al. 1991; Fishman et al. 1990).
Immunoblotting: 1-10μg/mL using Chemiluminescence technique.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
Immunohistochemistry: A 1:50 dilution of this antibody detected Connexin 43 in sections from mouse heart tissue pretreated with Tris-EDTA buffer, pH 9.0. Proteins were visualized using a donkey anti-rabbit secondary antibody conjugated to HRP and chemiluminescence detection.

Studies have demonstrated non-myocytes, including fibroblasts, can electrically couple to myocytes in culture. However, evidence demonstrating current can passively spread across scar tissue in the intact heart remains elusive. We hypothesize electrotonic conduction occurs across non-myocyte gaps in the heart
