GJB2 Antibody (PACO13407)

The GJB2 Antibody (PAC013407) is a highly specific and sensitive tool for researchers studying the role of gap junction protein beta 2 (GJB2) in various cellular processes. This polyclonal antibody, produced in rabbits, has been validated for use in Western blot applications, enabling detection and analysis of GJB2 in human samples.GJB2, also known as connexin 26, is a key component of gap junctions, which are channels that allow direct communication between adjacent cells. Dysfunction of GJB2 has been associated with various disorders, including hearing loss and skin diseases.

By targeting GJB2 with this antibody, researchers can gain insights into the mechanisms underlying these conditions and potentially develop new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.With its high reactivity and specificity, the GJB2 Antibody is an invaluable tool for studies in genetics, cell biology, and disease research. Its ability to specifically bind to GJB2 protein makes it a reliable choice for investigating the function and regulation of this important cellular component.

UniProt Protein Function:GJB2: 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 GJB2 are the cause of deafness autosomal recessive type 1A (DFNB1A). DFNB1A is a form of sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. Defects in GJB2 are the cause of deafness autosomal dominant type 3A (DFNA3A). Defects in GJB2 are a cause of Vohwinkel syndrome (VS). VS is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by hyperkeratosis, constriction on finger and toes and congenital deafness. Defects in GJB2 are a cause of palmoplantar keratoderma with deafness (PPKDFN). PPKDFN is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the association of palmoplantar hyperkeratosis with progressive, bilateral, high-frequency, sensorineural deafness. Defects in GJB2 are a cause of keratitis-ichthyosis- deafness syndrome (KID syndrome); an autosomal dominant form of ectodermal dysplasia. Ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) constitute a heterogeneous group of developmental disorders affecting tissues of ectodermal origin. EDs are characterized by abnormal development of two or more ectodermal structures such as hair, teeth, nails and sweat glands, with or without any additional clinical sign. Each combination of clinical features represents a different type of ectodermal dysplasia. KID syndrome is characterized by the association of hyperkeratotic skin lesions with vascularizing keratitis and profound sensorineural hearing loss. Clinical features include deafness, ichthyosis, photobia, absent or decreased eyebrows, sparse or absent scalp hair, decreased sweating and dysplastic finger and toenails. Defects in GJB2 are the cause of Bart-Pumphrey syndrome (BPS). BPS is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss, palmoplantar keratoderma, knuckle pads, and leukonychia, It shows considerable phenotypic variability. Defects in GJB2 are the cause of ichthyosis hystrix-like with deafness syndrome (HID syndrome). HID syndrome is an autosomal-dominant inherited keratinizing disorder characterized by sensorineural deafness and spiky hyperkeratosis affecting the entire skin. HID syndrome is considered to differ from the similar KID syndrome in the extent and time of occurrence of skin symptoms and the severity of the associated keratitis. Belongs to the connexin family. Beta-type (group I) subfamily.

NCBI Summary:This gene encodes a member of the gap junction protein family. The gap junctions were first characterized by electron microscopy as regionally specialized structures on plasma membranes of contacting adherent cells. These structures were shown to consist of cell-to-cell channels that facilitate the transfer of ions and small molecules between cells. The gap junction proteins, also known as connexins, purified from fractions of enriched gap junctions from different tissues differ. According to sequence similarities at the nucleotide and amino acid levels, the gap junction proteins are divided into two categories, alpha and beta. Mutations in this gene are responsible for as much as 50% of pre-lingual, recessive deafness. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
