Connexin 32 (Cx32) (AP)

May be stored at 4 degree C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, add sterile glycerol (40-50%), aliquot and store at -20 degree C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degree C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.

Recognizes mouse connexin 32 in liver and brain. On Western Blot with mouse liver cell lysates, Cx32 exhibits a band at 32kD. Reactivity is confirmed with mouse liver lysates. Species sequence homology: human and rat Cx32.
