DescriptionRb X Ms Connexin 43 (Cx43) Antibody, C-terminus
OverviewMouse Connexin 43 is a 382 amino acid gap junction protein with a predicted M.W. of ~43 kDa. It is prominently expressed in heart (see reviews: Kumar & Giula 1996; White et al. 1995; Evans 1994; Beyer et al. 1990).
Alternate Names
  • Gap Junction alpha-1 Protein (CxA-1)
Background InformationConnexin 43 (GJA1) is a member of the connexin gene family and a component of gap junctions. Gap junctions are composed of arrays of intercellular channels and provide a route for the diffusion of materials of low molecular weight from cell to cell. GJA1 is the major protein of gap junctions in the heart, and gap junctions are thought to have a crucial role in the synchronized contraction of the heart and in embryonic development. GJA1 is targeted by several protein kinases that regulate myocardial cell cell coupling. A related intronless GJA1 pseudogene, GJA1P, has been mapped to chromosome 5. Mouse Connexin 43 is a 382 amino acid gap junction protein with a predicted M.W. of ~43 kDa. It is prominently expressed in heart (Kumar, N. and Giula, N., 1996, Cell 84: 381-388).

Application NotesImmunoprecipitation:
2-10 µg of a previous lot was used in immunoprecipitation.

ELISA:
A previous lot of this antibody was used at 1:10,000-100,000 dilution using 50 - 100 ng Cx43 control peptide (Catalog number AG636) per well.

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
Biological Information
ImmunogenAnti-Connexin 43 is made against a 23 amino acid C-terminal peptide sequence within the cytoplasmic domain of mouse C×43 (Beyer, E. and Steinberg, T. ,1991, JBC 266: 7971).
EpitopeC-term/cytosolic
ConcentrationPlease refer to lot specific datasheet.
HostRabbit
SpecificityRecognizes mouse Connexin 43.
Species Reactivity
  • Human
  • Mouse
  • Rat
Species Reactivity NoteMouse C×43 immunogenic peptide sequence is specific for C×43 and no significant homology is seen with other connexins. The mouse C×43 peptide sequence is 100% homologous with rat and human C×43 (Beyer, E. et al., 1985, JCB 105: 2621).

Entrez Gene SummaryThis gene is a member of the connexin gene family. The encoded protein is a component of gap junctions, which are composed of arrays of intercellular channels that provide a route for the diffusion of low molecular weight materials from cell to cell. The encoded protein is the major protein of gap junctions in the heart that are thought to have a crucial role in the synchronized contraction of the heart and in embryonic development. A related intronless pseudogene has been mapped to chromosome 5. Mutations in this gene have been associated with oculodentodigital dysplasia and heart malformations. [provided by RefSeq]

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P17302 # One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell. May play a critical role in the physiology of hearing by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph.
SIZE: 382 amino acids; 43008 Da
SUBUNIT: A connexon is composed of a hexamer of connexins. Interacts with SGSM3.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction, gap junction.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in the heart and fetal cochlea.
DISEASE: SwissProt: P17302 # Defects in GJA1 are the cause of autosomal dominant oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD) [MIM:164200]; also known as oculodentoosseous dysplasia. ODDD is a highly penetrant syndrome presenting with craniofacial (ocular, nasal, dental) and limb dysmorphisms, spastic paraplegia, and neurodegeneration. Craniofacial anomalies tipically include a thin nose with hypoplastic alae nasi, small anteverted nares, prominent columnella, and microcephaly. Brittle nails and hair abnormalities of hypotrichosis and slow growth are present. Ocular defects include microphthalmia, microcornea, cataracts, glaucoma, and optic atrophy. Syndactyly type III and conductive deafness can occur in some cases. Cardiac abnormalities are observed in rare instances. & Defects in GJA1 may be the cause of syndactyly type III (SDTY3) [MIM:186100]. Syndactyly is an autosomal dominant trait and is the most common congenital anomaly of the hand or foot. It is marked by persistence of the webbing between adjacent digits, so they are more or less completely attached. In this type there is usually complete and bilateral syndactyly between the fourth and fifth fingers. Usually it is soft tissue syndactyly but occasionally the distal phalanges are fused. The fifth finger is short with absent or rudimentary middle phalanx. The feet are not affected. & Defects in GJA1 a the cause of hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) [MIM:241550]. HLHS refers to the abnormal development of the left-sided cardiac structures, resulting in obstruction to blood flow from the left ventricular outflow tract. In addition, the syndrome includes underdevelopment of the left ventricle, aorta, and aortic arch, as well as mitral atresia or stenosis.
