Anti-Connexin-40 Antibody

Manufactured by Antibodies.com, this Rabbit polyclonal reagent is raised against Connexin-40 (Cx40, also known as Gap junction alpha-5 protein, encoded by GJA5) and is supplied at a working concentration of 1 mg/mL in a 50 µL liquid format. The antibody is unconjugated and of the IgG isotype, and it has been affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using an epitope-specific immunogen corresponding to a synthesized peptide derived from the N-terminal region of human Connexin-40. Validated applications include Western blot (WB) and ELISA, and the reagent has been confirmed to react with Human, Mouse, and Rat samples, making it a versatile choice for cross-species studies of gap junction biology. The formulation is PBS containing 50% glycerol, 0.5% BSA, and 0.02% sodium azide as a preservative; the product is shipped at 4°C and should be aliquoted and stored at -20°C upon arrival, with repeated freeze/thaw cycles avoided to preserve activity. Intended for research use only and not for diagnostic or therapeutic applications, this polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Connexin-40 protein and is well suited to laboratories investigating cardiac conduction, vascular gap junction communication, and related signalling pathways.
