General description
Connexin 45 is member of a family of gap junction proteins known as Connexin gene family. It is expressed in a wide variety of cell types during development and adult life, particularly in cardiac and smooth muscle tissues as well as brain tissues. Connexin 45 forms part of a network of intercellular channels that provide a route for the diffusion of low molecular weight materials from cell to cell. There a number of alternatively spliced transcript variants that all seen to encode the same protein isoform.
Specificity
Clone 8A11.2 is highly specific for Connexin 45 protein with no cross reactivity as analyzed by western blotting to any other connexin family member.
Others species not tested. Also confirmed to work on rat C6 cells.
Immunogen
Epitope: near C-terminus, cytoplasmic
The peptide sequence used for the immunogen was H-Gln-Ala-Tyr-Ser-His-Gln-Asn-Asn-Pro-His-Gly-Pro-Arg-Glu-Cys-OH conjugated to KLH, corresponding to amino acids 354-367 of human connexin 45.
Application
Anti-Connexin 45 Antibody, near C-terminus, cytoplasmic, clone 8A11.2 is an antibody against Connexin 45 for use in IC, IH & WB.
Immunblotting (~46 kDa): 0.5 -1 µg/mL with ECL detection. Samples should be prepared with proteinase inhibitors and kept cold for best results. Alkali extraction methods can be used to enrich for connexin protein fractions. Briefly, 1 ml of NaHCO3 containing protease and phosphatase inhibitors and 22 µl of 1 M NaOH were added to frozen cell pellets. This cell suspension was sonicated for 30 s and incubated on ice for 50 min. Then, the homogenate was centrifuged for 30 min at 30,000 X g at 4°C. The supernatant was discarded, and the pellet was resuspended in sample buffer. {Elenes, S et al 2001}. 8% SDS_PAGE gels and PVDF membranes are suggested for greatest clarity.
Immunohistochemistry: fresh frozen, methanol fixed sections {Ujiie H et al (2003)}; 4% fixed frozen sections {Ikeda, Y et al 2007). 1-10 µg/mL with overnight incubations; 4% PFA fixed, paraffin-embedded sections {Gluhak-Heinrich, J et al 2007}, 1:50 with enzymatic detection.
Immunocytochemistry: 2% PFA fixed cells (15’, RT), permeabilized with a solution of 0.2% triton X-100/4% BSA {Sorensen et al 2008}.
Optimal working dilutions must be determined by end user.

The ventricular action potential was applied to paired neonatal murine ventricular myocytes in the dual whole cell configuration. During peak action potential voltages >100 mV, junctional conductance (g(j)) declined by 50%. This transjunctional voltage (V(j))-dependent inactivation exhibited two time constants

Gap junctions (GJs) are intercellular channels that connect adjacent cells electrically and metabolically. The iodide-yellow fluorescent protein (I-YFP) gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) assay is a recently developed method with high sensitivity. HeLa cells have been widely used as GJ-deficient

Expression of Hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels is reported in bladder, but the functional role remains unsettled. Here, we immunolocalized the HCN1 and HCN4 subtype in human bladder and investigated their functional significance. Bladder procured from ten organ donors was

Odorant/receptor binding and initial olfactory information processing occurs in olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) within the olfactory epithelium. Subsequent information coding involves high-frequency spike synchronization of paired mitral/tufted cell dendrites within olfactory bulb (OB) glomeruli via positive feedback between glutamate receptors

Somatic cells can be successfully reprogrammed into pluripotent stem cells by the ectopic expression of defined transcriptional factors. However, improved efficiency and better understanding the molecular mechanism underlying reprogramming are still required. In the present study, a scrape loading/dye transfer
