Specificity

Recognizes Ser368 phosphorylated Connexin 43. Connexin 43 (Cx43) is a member of the large family of gap junction proteins. Connexins assemble as a hexamer and are transported to the plasma membrane to create a hemichannel that can associate with hemichannels on nearby cells to create cell-to-cell channels. Clusters of these channels assemble to make gap junctions. Gap-junction communication is important in development and regulation of cell growth.

Immunogen

Epitope: phospho-specific (Ser368)
KLH-conjugated, synthetic phospho-peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser368 of human Connexin 43.

Application

Research Category
Cell Structure
Research Sub Category
Adhesion (CAMs)
This Anti-Connexin 43 Antibody, phospho-specific (Ser368) is validated for use in WB for the detection of Connexin 43.
Western blotting 1:1,000 (for best results, incubate membrane with diluted antibody in 5% BSA, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween-20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight)

Optimal working dilutions must be determined by the end user.

Physical form

Gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) and hemichannel permeability may have important roles during an ischemic insult. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of ischemia on gap junction channels and hemichannels. We used neonatal rat heart myofibroblasts and simulated ischemia

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited disorder with variable genetic etiologies. Here we focused on understanding the precise molecular pathology of a single clinical variant in DSP, the gene encoding desmoplakin. We initially identified a novel missense desmoplakin variant (p.R451G)

Connexins (Cxs) play a role in the contractility of the aorta wall. We investigated how connexins of the endothelial cells (ECs; Cx37, Cx40) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs; Cx43, Cx45) of the aorta change during renin-dependent and -independent hypertension. We
