Cx43 Antibody recognizes Cx43, also known as Connexin 43 or GJA1, the most abundant gap junction protein in vertebrate tissues. Cx43 assembles into hexameric connexons that align with connexons on adjacent cells to form gap junction channels, permitting the direct exchange of ions, metabolites, and small signaling molecules. This intercellular communication is essential for coordinating cellular activity, maintaining tissue homeostasis, and synchronizing physiological responses. As a result, Cx43 Antibody is widely used to study gap junction biology, cardiac physiology, nervous system function, and epithelial cell communication.
Cx43 is expressed in numerous tissues, including the heart, brain, skin, liver, kidney, lung, and vascular endothelium. In the myocardium, it is highly enriched at intercalated discs where it enables rapid electrical conduction between cardiomyocytes and supports synchronized cardiac contraction. Within the nervous system, Cx43 contributes to communication between astrocytes and other glial cells while participating in neuronal support and tissue repair. Dynamic regulation of Cx43 through phosphorylation, trafficking, assembly, and degradation allows gap junctions to respond rapidly to physiological and pathological stimuli.
Altered Cx43 expression or localization has been associated with numerous diseases, including cardiac arrhythmias, myocardial infarction, heart failure, stroke, epilepsy, chronic inflammation, fibrosis, impaired wound healing, and cancer. Changes in gap junction communication influence tissue remodeling, inflammatory responses, and tumor progression, making Cx43 an important biomarker in both basic and translational research. Consequently, Cx43 Antibody is frequently used to investigate mechanisms of cell-cell communication, cardiac disease, neurological disorders, and cancer biology.
NSJ Bioreagents offers highly validated Cx43 Antibody products for reliable detection of endogenous Cx43 in human and animal tissues. These antibodies support studies of gap junction formation, cardiac conduction, intercellular signaling, tissue homeostasis, and disease mechanisms while providing dependable performance across applications including western blotting, immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometry.
For additional information on Connexin 43 function, expression and validated applications, visit our Connexin 43 Antibody page.
Titration of the Cx43 Antibody / Connexin 43 may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
Amino acids 351-367 (HELQPLAIVDQRPSSRA-human) were used as the immunogen for this Cx43 antibody (100% conserved in mouse and rat).
The lyophilized Cx43 antibody can be stored at 4oC to -20oC. After reconstitution, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
