GJB2 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 GJB2 are responsible for as much as 50% of pre-lingual, recessive deafness. 蛋白别名为：GJB2; Gap junction beta-2 protein; Connexin-26; Cx26;基因ID为：2706；蛋白质ID:P29033
应用类型
WB，ELISA补充：最优的抗体稀释比例需要基于客户实验进行优化.建议的起始稀释比例如下: WB: 1:500-1:2000, ELISA: 1:5000. Not yet tested in other applications.
