Clonality

Polyclonal
Reactivity

Mouse
Specificity

Recognizes the ~32kD mouse connexin 31 on Western Blots. The band observed at ~62kD is probably due to dimerization of connexin 31. Several higher bands of unknown origin are observed in Western Blots of mouse skin homogenates. Reactivity has been confirmed with mouse skin homogenate.
Purity

Affinity Purified Purified by Immunoaffinity chromatgraphy.
Form

Supplied as a liquid in PBS, pH 7.4, 0.1% sodium azide.
Storage_stability
