Description
Description: The Connexin32 monoclonal antibody recognizes human, mouse, rat, and chicken Connexin 32. Connexins are a family of integral membrane proteins that form gap junction channels, which function to facilitate direct cell-cell communication. Gap junctions are comprised of two hemichannels, or connexons, which are made up of six connexin proteins. Over 20 connexin proteins have been identified and each combine to form either homomeric or heteromeric channels with different functional properties. Connexin 32 is expressed by myelin, neurons, oligodendrocytes, and hepatocytes, and plays a role in the development of ovarian follicles. Connexin 32 expression also plays a role in disease progression in chronic multiple sclerosis and experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Mutations in the Connexin 32 gene, GJB1, result in a form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease which is characterized by peripheral nerve dysfunction.
