Anti-GJB5 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein gap junction protein beta 5. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 273 amino acid residues and a mass of 31.1 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane. A member of the Connexin protein family, GJB5 is known to be involved with cell to cell signaling and epidermis development. Synonyms for this target antigen include gap junction beta-5 protein, gap junction protein, beta 5 (connexin 31.1), gap junction protein, beta 5, 31.1kDa, gap junctional protein cx31.1, and CX31.1. GJB5 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine and chimpanzee species. Some GJB5 antibodies may have been used in research and have associated citations. ELISA is a widely used application for these antibodies. Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
