Connexin 43 Blocking Peptide
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene is a member of the connexin gene family. The encoded protein is a component of gap junctions, which are composed of arrays of intercellular channels that provide a route for the diffusion of low molecular weight materials from cell to cell. The encoded protein is the major protein of gap junctions in the heart that are thought to have a crucial role in the synchronized contraction of the heart and in embryonic development. A related intronless pseudogene has been mapped to chromosome 5. Mutations in this gene have been associated with oculodentodigital dysplasia, autosomal recessive craniometaphyseal dysplasia and heart malformations. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
Uniprot Description
GJA1: an integral membrane protein of the connexin family, alpha-type (group II) subfamily. Hexamers of connexin-43 form connexons, which aggregate together to form gap junctions, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell. May play a critical role in the physiology of hearing by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph.

Product Notes
The GJA1 gja1 (Catalog #AAA8240488) is a Blocking Peptide produced from Synthetic and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The Connexin 43 Blocking Peptide reacts with Human, Mouse, Rat, Bovine, Chicken, Dog, Monkey, Porcine, Rabbit and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's Connexin 43 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Blocking (BL). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GJA1 gja1 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. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Connexin 43, Blocking Peptide" 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
