Quick Overview for Connexin 43/GJA1 antibody (pSer367, pSer368) (ABIN197018)

Target: Connexin 43/GJA1 (GJA1) (Gap Junction Protein, alpha 1, 43kDa (GJA1))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This Connexin 43/GJA1 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Product Details anti-Connexin 43/GJA1 Antibody

Binding Specificity: pSer367, pSer368

Specificity: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site.This antibody detects endogenous levels of Connexin43 only when phosphorylated at serine 367.

Purification: Immunoaffinity Chromatography.

Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human Connexin-43 around the phosphorylation site of serine 367 (R-A-SP-S-R).

Target Details for Connexin 43/GJA1

Target: Connexin 43/GJA1 (GJA1) (Gap Junction Protein, alpha 1, 43kDa (GJA1))

Alternative Name: GJA1 / Cx43

Background: 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.Synonyms: Connexin-43, GJAL, Gap junction 43 kDa heart protein, Gap junction alpha-1 protein
