AA_Supplier Name : Biosensis

Alternative_Name (Other Names) :

Cx43; gap junction alpha-1 protein; GJA1; GJAL; Gap junction 43 kDa heart protein;

Antibody_Isotype
(Antibody only) :

Application_Details :

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western Blotting (WB). A concentration of 0.1-0.5 µg/mL is recommended for WB. The predicted length of human Connexin-43 is 382 residues and MW of 43 kDa. A concentration of 0.5-1.0 µg/mL is recommended to detect Connexin-43 in formalin fixed and paraffin embedded tissues. Heat mediated antigen retrieval is required. Biosensis recommends optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Description (Long Description) : 

A gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexins, through which materials of low molecular weight diffuse from one cell to a neighbouring cell. Each connexin is composed of a hexamer of connexin proteins. Connexins are a multi-gene family of highly related proteins. At least a dozen distinct connexin genes have been identified and many are expressed in a tissue-specific manner. Two distinct lineages, class I (beta) and class II (alpha), have been identified in mammals. Connexin-43, also known as Gap junction alpha-1 (GJA1), belongs to the class II (alpha) group of connexins and is expressed in the heart and foetal cochlea.
