Monoclonal Anti-Connexin-32 (mouse IgG1 isotype) is derived from the CXN-32 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from an immunized mouse. The 27 kDa connexin protein (Connexin-32, Cx32), belongs to the connexion family of proteins. It is expressed in most tissues, even though the pattern of expression may differ in various cell types including peripheral and central nervous system.
Monoclonal Anti-Connexin-32 antibody produced in mouse has been used in:
enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
immunoblotting
epifuorescent microscopy
生化/生理作用
Connexin-32 low expression levels is observed in common bile duct ligation (CBDL). In addition, a combination of myelin disruption and axonal degeneration has been shown to occur with Cx32 mutations in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMTX). Monoclonal antibodies reacting specifically with Cx32, may be used in diverse cellular and molecular approaches to the study of gap junctions and their properties, and to correlate their expression pattern with physiological functions or pathological conditions.
Connexins belong to the gap junction protein family. In humans, connexin is encoded by GJB1 (gap junction protein, β 1) gene. The gap junction proteins connexin32 (Cx32), Cx37, Cx40 and Cx43 are expressed in endothelial cells and regulate vascular functions involving inflammation. The endothelial Cx32 positively regulates angiogenesis by enhancing endothelial cell tube formation and cell migration. CX32 mutation is associated with cognitive impairment and a differential degree of peripheral nerve involvement.
