P2C4_Biotin_Connexin_Antibody_1_090418
Western blot of Biotin anti-Connexin 43, 360-382 antibody (clone P2C4). Lane 1: Molecular weight marker; Lane 2: 20 μg of human brain lysate; Lane 3: 5 μg of mouse brain lysate; Lane 4: 5 μg of rat brain lysate. The blot was incubated with 0.1 μg/mL of the primary antibody overnight at 4°C, followed by incubation with HRP Streptavidin (Cat. No. 405210). Enhanced chemiluminescence was used as the detection system.

Description

Connexins are a family of transmembrane proteins that assemble to form vertebrate gap junctions, thus also called Gap Junction Proteins. So far, 21 Connexins have been discovered in humans. The gene GJA1 encodes Connexin 43 (Cx43), which is the most expressed Connexin, and can be found in many human tissues including skin, bone, and brain. Cx43 has been reported to be involved in synchronized contraction of the heart as well as embryonic development. Besides its functions as a channel protein, Cx43 also performs channel-independent functions. During brain and heart development, cytoplasmic Cx43 regulates the microtubule network and thus affects cell migration and polarity. In addition, mitochondrial GJA1 has also been reported to promote cell survival by down-regulating the intrinsic apoptotic pathway during conditions such as oxidative stress.

Structure
Connexin 43 (GJA1) is a 382 amino acid protein with a molecular mass of 43 kD.
Distribution

Tissue distribution: Expressed in most tissues, enriched in brain, endocrine, muscle, bone marrow, immune System, ovaries, testes, and Skin.

Cellular distribution: Plasma membrane, cytosol, mitochondria, golgi apparatus, cytoskeleton and endoplasmic reticulum membrane.

Function
Connexin 43 plays a role in cell-to-cell communication by forming channels, or gap junctions between cells. It allows for the transport of nutrients, charged particles (ions), and other small molecules that carry necessary communication signals between cells.
