Quick Overview for Connexin antibody (C-Term) (ABIN5688865)

Target: Connexin

Reactivity: Chicken, Dog, Human, Mouse, Rat, Sheep, Xenopus laevis, Zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Application: Western Blotting (WB)

Product Details anti-Connexin Antibody

Binding Specificity: C-Term

Purification: Affinity Purified

Immunogen: Peptide corresponding to amino acid residues from the C-terminal region of rat connexin43.

Application Details

Application Notes: The antibody has been directly tested for reactivity in Western blots in rat tissues. It is anticipated that the antibody will also work with chicken, dog, finch, human, mouse, non-human primate, sheep, Xenopus and zebra fish tissues based on the fact that these species have 100 % homology with the amino acid sequence used as antigen.

Target Details for Connexin

Target: Connexin

Background: Gap junctional intercellular communication is thought to play a key role in development and may also be involved in epilepsy (Aronica et al., 2001). Connexin43 forms gap-junctional channels and regulates the permeability of these gap junctions to small organic molecules. Permeability of connexin43 is known to be regulated by phosphorylation at er368 by protein kinase C (Yogo et al., 2002, Bao et al., 2004a). Phosphorylation of Ser368 by PKC induces a conformational change of connexin43 that results in a decrease in gap junction permeability (Bao et al., 2004b).
