Connexin
Connexins (Cx) are members of a protein family that forms intercellular channels localised in gap junction (GJ) plaques and single transmembrane channels called hemichannels. They participate in intercellular communication or communication between the intracellular and extracellular environments. Connexins affect cell homeostasis, growth and differentiation by enabling the exchange of metabolites or by interfering with various signalling pathways.

Gap 26
0 ImagesGap 26 is a connexin mimetic peptide, composed of residue numbers 63-75 of the first extracellular loop of connexin 43 (gap junction blocker), containing the SHVR amino acid motif.

TAPS
0 ImagesTAPS is an aminosulfonate-based lysozyme stabilizer and connexin channel inhibitor. TAPS maintains the native structure of lysozyme in aqueous solution at pH 7.0 and significantly protects it from heat-induced denaturation. TAPS directly inhibits the activity of heteromeric connexin 32/connexin 26 channels (Cx32/Cx26) via its protonated form, and this inhibitory effect is dependent on the presence of connexin 26. TAPS reduces connexin channel-mediated solute exchange in a recombinant liposome system, resulting in a decreased degree of liposome density shift in transport-specific separation assays. TAPS is a critical compound for investigating the structure and function of connexin channels.
