Description: Gap junction blocker; inhibits smooth muscle contraction and IP3-mediated ATP release
Purity: ≥95% (HPLC)
Biological Activity for Gap 26
Gap 26 is a peptide, corresponding to residues 63 - 75 of connexin 43, which is a gap junction blocker. Attenuates rhythmic contractile activity of rabbit arterial smooth muscle (IC50 = 28.4 μM). Also inhibits IP3-induced ATP release, without inhibiting gap junctional coupling in endothelial cells.
