A synthetic peptide for use as a blocking control in assays to test for specificity of GJA8 antibody, Alternative Names: GJA8 control peptide, GJA8 antibody Blocking Peptide, Anti-GJA8 Blocking Peptide, Gap Junction Protein Alpha 8 50Kda Blocking Peptide, CAE Blocking Peptide, CAE1 Blocking Peptide, CX50 Blocking Peptide, CZP1 Blocking Peptide, MP70 Blocking Peptide, GJA8, GJA-8, GJA 8, GJA-8 Blocking Peptide, GJA 8 Blocking Peptide
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 GJA8 are the cause of zonular pulverulent cataract type 1 (CZP1).
