GJB2 Antibodies

AND GJB2 ELISA kits, GJB2 Proteins

Many biological assays use antibodies to detect GJB2, such as Western Blot (WB), ELISA, Flow Cytometry, Immunocytochemistry (IHC). These antibodies can be polyclonal or monoclonal, and react with GJB2 in Human, Mouse, Rat, and many other animal samples. Boster Bio use mainly mouse and rabbit to develop GJB2 antibodies...

We validate the specificity of these antibodies to GJB2 by testing them on tissues known to express GJB2 positively and negatively. Browse below to find the GJB2 antibody that suites your experiment. We have 4 of these antibodies and many publications and validation images.

If you cannot find antibodies that fit your needs, contact us for making custom antibodies. We have a full suite of custom antibody services covering from research to diagnostic and therapeutic applications.

Designing a Western blot for GJB2? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.

GJB2 Overview

Facts about Gap junction beta-2 protein.

GJB2 3D structure. Source: alphafold

Gap junction beta-2 protein (GJB2)

One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell. .
