In the brain, Connexin 40 helps facilitate communication between neurons, allowing for proper cognitive function and coordination. Research suggests that disruptions in Connexin 40 expression may contribute to neurological disorders such as epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. In the immune system Gap junctions formed by Connexin 40 facilitate the transfer of signaling molecules between immune cells, enabling a coordinated response to pathogens and foreign invaders.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSubcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWestern blotting: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImmunohistochemistry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsoforms and PTMs:\u003c\/strong\u003e many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands\/signals accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEpitope context:\u003c\/strong\u003e binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title\/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies differences:\u003c\/strong\u003e predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl concepts:\u003c\/strong\u003e include negative controls (no-primary\/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO\/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry P36382 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/P36382 - Gene search: CX40 — NCBI Gene — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=CX40 - Ensembl search: CX40 — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=CX40 - PubMed search: CX40 antibody — PubMed — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=CX40+antibody - Reactome search: CX40 — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/content\/query?q=CX40 --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"In 1X PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.09% sodium azide \/ 0.05 ml","offer_id":53046408937837,"sku":"F55078-0.05ML","price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"In 1X PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.09% sodium azide \/ 0.2 ml","offer_id":53046475194733,"sku":"F55078-0.2ML","price":439.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_2b57180f-b0be-45c5-b22f-8f78705890b0.jpg?v=1772000495","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/cx40-antibody-connexin-40-gja5-bha17128141","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
