Gene Full Name :

Gap junction alpha-1 protein

Synonyms :

Gap junction alpha-1 protein; Connexin-43; Cx43; Gap junction 43 kDa heart protein; GJA1; GJAL;

Protein Name :

Gap junction alpha-1 protein

Molecular Weight :

43008 MW

Protein Function :

Gap junction protein that acts as a regulator of bladder capacity. A 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. May play a critical role in the physiology of hearing by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph. Negative regulator of bladder functional capacity: acts by enhancing intercellular electrical and chemical transmission, thus sensitizing bladder muscles to cholinergic neural stimuli and causing them to contract (By similarity).

Subcellular Localization :

Cell membrane ; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction, gap junction. Endoplasmic reticulum.

Tissue Specificity :

Expressed in the heart and fetal cochlea.

Recommended Detection Systems :

Boster recommends Enhanced Chemiluminescent Kit with anti-Rabbit IgG (EK1002) for Western blot, and HRP Conjugated anti-Rabbit IgG Super Vision Assay Kit (SV0002-1) for IHC(P), IHC(F) and ICC.

Sequence Similarities :

Belongs to the connexin family. Alpha-type (group II) subfamily.

Background :

Connexins 43 (Cx43), also called GAP Junction Protein, alpha-1 (GJA1). Connexin 43 is a member of the connexin gene family which abundantly expressed in the heart and liver and was mapped to 6q21-q23.2. Connexin43, the major protein of gap junctions in the heart, is targeted by several protein kinases that regulate myocardial cell-cell coupling. Mutations in the connexin43 gap-junction gene, which lead to abnormally regulated cell-cell communication, are associated with visceroatrial heterotaxia. Cx43 must also play a critical role in the physiology of hearing, presumably by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph.
