NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a transmembrane connexin protein that is necessary for lens growth and maturation of lens fiber cells. The encoded protein is a component of gap junction channels and functions in a calcium and pH-dependent manner. Mutations in this gene have been associated with zonular pulverulent cataracts, nuclear progressive cataracts, and cataract-microcornea syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
Uniprot Description
GJA8: 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. This particular connexin only forms junctional channels. Eye lens. Belongs to the connexin family. Alpha-type (group II) subfamily.

Product Notes
The GJA8 gja8 (Catalog #AAA422269) is an Antibody produced from Goat and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Goat anti-Connexin 50/GJA8 Antibody reacts with Expected from sequence similarity: Human, Mouse, Rat, Dog, Cow and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Connexin 50/GJA8 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Peptide ELISA (EIA). Peptide ELISA: Antibody detection limit dilution 1: 4000. Western Blot: Preliminary experiments in Human Brain (Spinal Cord), Mouse and Rat Eye lysates gave no specific signal but low background (at antibody concentration up to 1ug/ml). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GJA8 gja8 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. The amino acid sequence is listed below: TPSLCPELTT DDAR. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Connexin 50/GJA8, Polyclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
