Rabbit Anti-GJC1 (CX45, GJA7, connexin 45, Connexin-45, Gap junction alpha-7 protein)

Gap junction gamma-1 protein (GJC1), also known as gap junction alpha-7 protein (GJA7) or connexin 45 (Cx45), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GJC1 gene. The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the GJA7 gene to chromosome 17q21.31. 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.

UniProt Number
P36383
Gene ID
GJC1
Applications
Suitable for use in Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability
Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile ddH2O. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
Immunogen
A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human GJC1, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by one amino acid.
Form
Supplied as a lyophilized powder from PBS, 5% BSA, 0.05% Thimerosal, 0.05% sodium azide. Reconstitutie with 200ul sterile ddH2O.
Purity
Purified by immunoaffinity chromatography.
Specificity
Recognizes human, mouse and rat GJC1. No crossreactivity with other proteins.

Intended for research use only. Not for use in human, therapeutic, or diagnostic applications.
