Anti-Connexin 43/GJA1 Antibody Picoband®
Primary Antibody supplied by Boster Bio Read more ›

Product Description
Connexins 43 (Cx43), also called GAP Junction Protein, alpha-1 (GJA1). Connexin 43 is a member of the connexin gene family which abundantly expressed in the heart and liver and was mapped to 6q21-q23.2. Connexin43, the major protein of gap junctions in the heart, is targeted by several protein kinases that regulate myocardial cell-cell coupling. Mutations in the connexin43 gap-junction gene, which lead to abnormally regulated cell-cell communication, are associated with visceroatrial heterotaxia. Cx43 must also play a critical role in the physiology of hearing, presumably by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph.
