General description

Connexins (Cx) are a multi-gene family of highly related proteins with molecular weights ranging from 26 to 70 kD. The structure of connexin molecules includes a cytoplasmic N-terminal region, four transmembrane domains, two extracellular loops, and a C-terminal cytoplasmic tail of varying length. Anti-Connexin 32 is developed in rabbit using synthetic peptide Lys- Arg- Ser-Pro- Gly- Thr- Gly- Ala-Gly- Leu- Ala- Glu- Lys-Ser- Asp- Arg conjugated to KLH with glutaraldehyde as immunogen.
Gap junction protein, connexin-32 (Cx32) is encoded by gap junction protein β 1 (GJB1) gene, localized on the human chromosome X. This gene is expressed in the central nervous system (CNS) in oligodendrocytes and other neuronal populations.

Immunogen

synthetic human/rat connexin-32 peptide (amino acids 265-279 with an N-terminally added lysine).

Application

Anti-Connexin-32 (265-279) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blot analysis and immunocytochemistry.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mutations of the gap junction protein β 1 (GJB1) gene results in the X-linked form of Charcot-Marie-tooth disease (CMTX1). Cx32 participates in the liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin with 15 mM sodium azide.
