Background of GJA1

Connexin 43 (Cx43), also called GAP Junction Protein, alpha-1 (GJA1). Connexin 43 is a member of the connexin gene family which abundantly expressed in the heart and liver and was mapped to 6q21-q23.2. Connexin43, the major protein of gap junctions in the heart, is targeted by several protein kinases that regulate myocardial cell-cell coupling. Mutations in the connexin43 gap-junction gene, which lead to abnormally regulated cell-cell communication, are associated with visceroatrial heterotaxia. Cx43 must also play a critical role in the physiology of hearing, presumably by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph.

5 Customer Q&As for Anti-Connexin 43/GJA1 Antibody Picoband®

Question

My boss were well pleased with the WB result of your anti-Connexin 43/GJA1 antibody. However we have observed positive staining in pigmented layer of retina cell membrane using this antibody. Is that expected? Could you tell me where is GJA1 supposed to be expressed?

Verified Customer

Asked: 2019-10-01

Answer

From literature, pigmented layer of retina does express GJA1. Generally GJA1 expresses in cell membrane. Regarding which tissues have GJA1 expression, here are a few articles citing expression in various tissues:
Brain, Pubmed ID: 15489334
Cerebellum, Pubmed ID: 14702039
Heart muscle, Pubmed ID: 1696265

Question

We are currently using anti-Connexin 43/GJA1 antibody A00599 for human tissue, and we are satisfied with the IF results. The species of reactivity given in the datasheet says human, mouse, rat. Is it possible that the antibody can work on pig tissues as well?

Verified Customer

Asked: 2018-10-26

Answer

The anti-Connexin 43/GJA1 antibody (A00599) has not been validated for cross reactivity specifically with pig tissues, but there is a good chance of cross reactivity. We have an innovator award program that if you test this antibody and show it works in pig you can get your next antibody for free. Please contact me if I can help you with anything.

Question

We ordered your anti-Connexin 43/GJA1 antibody for IHC-P on brain a few months ago. I am using mouse, and We are going to use the antibody for ICC next. We want examining brain as well as heart muscle in our next experiment. Could you please give me some suggestion on which antibody would work the best for ICC?

Asked: 2017-07-28

Answer

I looked at the website and datasheets of our anti-Connexin 43/GJA1 antibody and I see that A00599 has been validated on mouse in both IHC-P and ICC. Thus A00599 should work for your application. Our Boster satisfaction guarantee will cover this product for ICC in mouse even if the specific tissue type has not been validated. We do have a comprehensive range of products for ICC detection and you can check out our website bosterbio.com to find out more information about them.
