General description
40 kDa
Mouse Connexin 40 is a 358 amino acid gap junction protein with a predicted M.W. of ~40 kDa. It is prominently expressed in lung, heart and skin (see reviews: Kumar & Giula 1996; White, 1995; Evans, 1994; Beyer , 1990; Henneman, 1992; Traub, 1994; Goliger & Paul 1994). 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. A connexon is composed of a hexamer of connexins.
Immunogen
Anti-Connexin 40 is made against a 19 amino acid peptide sequence within the C-terminal cytoplasmic domain of mouse C×40 (2). Peptide sequence is conserved in human and rat Cx40 (100%), chicken Cx42 (77%), human Cx50 (87%), rat Cx50 (81%) and sheep Cx49 (87%).
Application
Anti-Connexin 40 Antibody is an antibody against Cx40 for use in IHC & WB.
Immunohistochemistry Analysis: An 1:50 dilution of a representative lot detected Connexin 40 immunoreactivity associated with the gap junction between the cardiac myoepithial cells in mouse heart tissue sections.
Western Blot Analysis: An 1:1000 dilution of a representative lot detected Connexin 40 in human (HEK293, HeLa, HepG2, HUVEC, Jurkat) and murine (C2C12, HIN/3T3) cell lysates.
Western Blot Analysis: An 1:000 dilution of a representative lot detected Connexin 40 in human, mouse, and rat heart tissue homogenates, as well as in mouse brain tissue homogenates.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.
