Connexin 43 Antibody recognizes Connexin 43 (GJA1), the most widely expressed gap junction protein in mammalian tissues and a critical mediator of direct intercellular communication. Connexin 43 assembles into hexameric connexons that dock with connexons on neighboring cells to form gap junction channels, allowing the passage of ions, metabolites, and small signaling molecules between adjacent cells. Through this mechanism, Connexin 43 coordinates electrical coupling, metabolic homeostasis, and cellular responses across tissues. Consequently, Connexin 43 Antibody is widely used to investigate gap junction biology, cell-cell communication, tissue development, and disease pathogenesis.
Connexin 43 is expressed in numerous tissues, including the heart, brain, skin, liver, kidney, lung, vascular endothelium, and many epithelial cell types. It plays an essential role in synchronizing cardiac contraction, regulating neuronal and glial communication, supporting wound healing, and maintaining tissue homeostasis. Gap junction channels formed by Connexin 43 are dynamically regulated through phosphorylation, channel assembly, trafficking, and turnover, enabling tissues to rapidly adapt to changing physiological conditions. Because of its broad distribution and fundamental biological functions, Connexin 43 Antibody has become an important tool for studies of cellular signaling, tissue organization, and intercellular communication.
Altered Connexin 43 expression, localization, or phosphorylation has been implicated in numerous pathological conditions, including cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, epilepsy, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, impaired wound healing, and many cancers. In oncology, Connexin 43 exhibits context-dependent functions that may either suppress tumor growth through enhanced cell-cell communication or contribute to tumor progression, invasion, and metastasis depending on the cellular environment. Ongoing research continues to examine Connexin 43 as both a biomarker and therapeutic target in cardiovascular disease, neurobiology, regenerative medicine, and cancer biology.
NSJ Bioreagents offers highly validated Connexin 43 Antibody products for reliable detection of endogenous Connexin 43 in human and animal tissues. These antibodies support investigations into gap junction formation, intercellular communication, cardiac physiology, neuronal signaling, tissue repair, and disease mechanisms while enabling accurate characterization of Connexin 43 expression and localization. Researchers studying cell-cell communication, gap junction biology, and tissue homeostasis can rely on Connexin 43 Antibody for dependable and reproducible results.

The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the Connexin 43 Antibody / Gap Junction Protein Antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
An amino acid sequence from the C-terminus of human Connexin 43 (RASSRASSRPRPDDLEI) was used as the immunogen for this Connexin 43 antibody (100% conserved in mouse and rat).
After reconstitution, the Connexin 43 antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
