Cx40 Antibody / Connexin 40 / GJA5
Connexin 40 protein, also known as Cx40, GJA5 and Gap junction alpha-5 protein, plays a role in cell communication and proper function within the body. In the brain, Connexin 40 helps facilitate communication between neurons, allowing for proper cognitive function and coordination. Research suggests that disruptions in Connexin 40 expression may contribute to neurological disorders such as epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. In the immune system Gap junctions formed by Connexin 40 facilitate the transfer of signaling molecules between immune cells, enabling a coordinated response to pathogens and foreign invaders.
