Anti-Connexin 43 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Connexin 43 protein.
Connexin 43 (Cx43) is also known as GJA1 (gap junction protein α 1) and belongs to a large family of homologous connexin proteins. It has an intracellular N-terminus, four transmembrane domains, two extracellular loops, one cytoplasmic loop and an intracellular C-terminus. It is located on human chromosome 6q22-q23.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Connexin 43.
Immunogen Range: 333-382
Biochem/physiol Actions
Mutations in Connexin 43 (Cx43) gene result in pleiotropic phenotype of oculodentodigital dysplasia. Connexin 43 participates in the multiplication and differentiation of mature T cells. It also participates in the secretion and manufacturing of cytokines. It helps to release lactate from glycolytic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cells.

Gap-junction-forming connexins are exquisitely regulated by post-translational modifications (PTMs). In particular, the PTM of connexin 43 (Cx43), a tumor suppressor protein, regulates its turnover and activity. Here, we investigated the interaction of Cx43 with the ubiquitin-related modifier 1 (URM-1) protein
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is a genetic disease causing arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death with only symptomatic therapy available at present. Mutations of desmosomal proteins, including desmoglein-2 (Dsg2) and plakoglobin (Pg), are the major cause of AC and have been shown
