General description

Connexin-2 is also known as Connexin Gap junction beta-2 protein (GJB2) and Connexin-26 (Cx26). The connexins are transmembrane channels that diffuse low MW materials from one cell to a neighboring cell. Aberrant connexin-2 can cause deafness autosomal recessive type 1A (DFNB1A), deafness autosomal dominant type 3A (DFNA3A), Vohwinkel syndrome (VS), palmoplantar keratoderma with deafness (PPKDFN), keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome (KID syndrome), Bart-Pumphrey syndrome (BPS), and ichthyosis hystrix-like with deafness syndrome (HID syndrome).

Specificity

Other homologies: Mouse (92% sequence homology).

Immunogen

KLH-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to human Connexin-26.

Application

Anti-Connexin-26 Antibody, clone 3B12.1 is a highly specific mouse monoclonal antibody, that targets CX26 & has been tested in western blotting & IHC.
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: A 1:4,000-8,000 dilution from a representative lot detected Connexin-26 in human colon and human liver tissue.

Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome is a severe, untreatable condition characterized by ocular, auditory, and cutaneous abnormalities, with major complications of infection and skin cancer. Most cases of KID syndrome (86%) are caused by a heterozygous missense mutation (c.148G>A, p.D50N) in the

Connexins are important proteins involved in cell-to-cell communication and cytodifferentiation during renewal and cornification of the multilayered epithelia. So far, there is a lack of reports on this subject in birds' structurally different ortho- and parakeratinized epithelium of the tongue.

In vitro transdifferentiation of patient-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs) into neurons is of special interest for treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. Although there are encouraging studies, little is known about physiological modulations during this transdifferentiation process. Here, we focus on the
