Endogenous connexin expression in right atrial muscle. (A) Illustrative membranes from western blotting are shown for the connexin proteins: Cx45 (single band at 45 kDa), Cx43 doublet (band at 43 kDa is phosphorylated Cx43, the band at 41 kDa is non-phosphorylated Cx43) and Cx40 (single band at 40 kDa). Equal protein-loading was confirmed by desmin labelling (53 kDa). (B) Total endogenous Cx43 protein (μg) per total protein (μg) significantly declined with ageing (n = 5; ANOVA p < 0.001).
