DATASHEET

Host: Rabbit

Target Protein: Connexin 43

Specificity: Specific for endogenous levels of the ~43 kDa connexin43 protein.

Clonality: Polyclonal

Isotype: IgG

Entrez Gene: 24392

Swiss Prot: P08050

Source: Synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues from the C-terminal region or rat connexin43, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH).

Purification: Antigen Affinity purification from Pooled whole antiserum

Storage Buffer: 10 mM HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg per ml BSA and 50% glycerol.

Storage: Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.

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 Ser-368 by protein kinase C (Yogo et al., 2002; Bao et al., 2004a). Phosphorylation of Ser-368 by PKC induces a conformational change of connexin43 that results in a decrease in gap junction permeability (Bao et al., 2004b).
