GJB5 Antibody

Gap junctions are conduits that allow the direct cell-to-cell passage of small cytoplasmic molecules, including ions, metabolic intermediates, and second messengers, and thereby mediate intercellular metabolic and electrical communication. Gap junction channels consist of connexin protein subunits, which are encoded by a multigene family. GJBs (gap-junction proteins or connexins) such as GJB5 are thought to play crucial functional roles associated with these channels.

This GJB5 antibody is generated from rabbits immunized with a KLH conjugated synthetic peptide between 89-119 amino acids from the Central region of human GJB5.

Store at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.
