Connexin 43 Antibody / Cx43

Connexin 43 (Cx43), also called GAP Junction Protein, alpha, is a member of the connexin gene family and is abundantly expressed in the heart and liver. Connexin 43, the major protein of gap junctions in the heart, is targeted by several protein kinases that regulate myocardial cell-cell coupling. Cx43 also plays a critical role in the physiology of hearing, presumably by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph.
