Distribution of Connexin43 immunoreactivity in the retinas of different vertebrates

The distribution of Connexin43 (Cx43) was examined by immunoblotting and immunofluorescence microscopy in the retinas of five different vertebrates by using a C‐terminal specific peptide antibody. The specificity of the antibody was proved on immunoblots, in which it showed cross reactivity with a 43‐kDa protein in rat heart homogenates as well as in homogenates of rabbit, rat, chicken, turtle, and fish (carp and zebrafish) retinas.
