General description

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: 226-275

Application

Anti-Connexin 43 antibody has been used in immunohistochemistry.

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.
