GJC1 (CX45, GJA7, connexin 45, Connexin-45, Gap junction alpha-7 protein)

Gap junction gamma-1 protein (GJC1), also known as gap junction alpha-7 protein (GJA7) or connexin 45 (Cx45), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GJC1 gene. The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the GJA7 gene to chromosome 17q21.31. This gene is a member of the connexin gene family. The encoded protein 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.\n\nUniProt Number:\nP36383\n\nGene ID:\nGJC1\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year. After reconstitution, store at 4?C for one month. Can also be aliquoted and stored frozen at -20?C for long term.\nAvoid repeated freezing and thawing. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
