      Background InformationConnexin 45 is member of a family of gap junction proteins known as Connexin gene family. It is expressed in a wide variety of cell types during development and adult life, particularly in cardiac and smooth muscle tissues as well as brain tissues. Connexin 45 forms part of a network of intercellular channels that provide a route for the diffusion of low molecular weight materials from cell to cell. There a number of alternatively spliced transcript variants that all seen to encode the same protein isoform.

      Applications
      ApplicationAnti-Connexin 45 Antibody, near C-terminus, cytoplasmic, clone 8A11.2 is an antibody against Connexin 45 for use in IC, IH & WB.
      Key Applications
      • Immunocytochemistry
      • Immunohistochemistry
      • Western Blotting
      Application NotesImmunblotting (~46 kDa): 0.5 -1 µg/mL with ECL detection. Samples should be prepared with proteinase inhibitors and kept cold for best results. Alkali extraction methods can be used to enrich for connexin protein fractions. Briefly, 1 ml of NaHCO3 containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors and 22 µl of 1 M NaOH were added to frozen cell pellets. This cell suspension was sonicated for 30 s and incubated on ice for 50 min. Then, the homogenate was centrifuged for 30 min at 30,000 X g at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was resuspended in sample buffer. {Elenes, S et al 2001}. 8% SDS_PAGE gels and PVDF membranes are suggested for greatest clarity.

      Immunohistochemistry: fresh frozen, methanol fixed sections {Ujiie H et al (2003)}; 4% fixed frozen sections {Ikeda, Y et al 2007). 1-10 µg/mL with overnight incubations; 4% PFA fixed, paraffin-embedded sections {Gluhak-Heinrich, J et al 2007}, 1:50 with enzymatic detection.

      Immunocytochemistry: 2% PFA fixed cells (15’, RT), permeabilized with a solution of 0.2% triton X-100/4% BSA {Sorensen et al 2008}.


      Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
      Biological Information
      ImmunogenThe peptide sequence used for the immunogen was H-Gln-Ala-Tyr-Ser-His-Gln-Asn-Asn-Pro-His-Gly-Pro-Arg-Glu-Cys-OH conjugated to KLH, corresponding to amino acids 354-367 of human connexin 45.
