Background: Gap junction alpha-3 protein, also known as Connexin-46, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GJA3 gene. This gene is mapped to 13q12.11. The protein encoded by this gene is a connexin and is a component of lens fiber gap junctions. One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell. Defects in this gene are a cause of zonular pulverulent cataract type 3 (CZP3).

Immunogen: A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of human GJA3, different from the related mouse and rat sequences by four amino acids.

Clonality: Polyclonal

Contents: Each vial contains 4 mg Trehalose, 0.9 mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05 mg NaN3.

Purification: Immunogen affinity purified.

Reconstitution: Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500ug/ml.
