Connexin-40 Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Anti-Connexin-40 Polyclonal Antibody

Product Specifications

Background

GJA5 is a member of the connexin gene family. The gap junction protein alpha 5 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. Mutations in this gene may be associated with atrial fibrillation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been described.
