Connexin 43 is a protein encoded by the GJA1 gene which is approximately 43 kDa. Connexin 43 is localised to the cell membrane and endoplasmic reticulum. It is involved in gap junction trafficking and transport of connexins along the secretory pathway. It 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. In the heart these gap junctions are thought to have a crucial role in the synchronized contraction of the heart and in embryonic development. Connexin 43 is expressed in the heart and foetal cochlea. Mutations in the GJA1 gene may result in Oculodentodigital dysplasia. STJ92411 was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. This polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Connexin 43 protein.
