connexin-43 (cx43)

Gap19 TFA is a peptide derived from nine amino acids of Cx43 cytoplasmic ring (CL), an effective, selective connexin 43 (Cx43) half-channel blocker.

Rotigaptide is a novel and specific modulator of Cx43 and is a potent AAP. Rotigaptide prevents the uncoupling of Cx43-mediated gap junction communication and normalizes cell-to-cell communication during acute metabolic stress.
