Gap 26 TFA（Cat No.:I044762）is a synthetic connexin-mimetic peptide that selectively inhibits gap junction intercellular communication (GJIC) by targeting connexin 43 (Cx43), a key protein involved in cellular coupling. With the sequence VCYDKSFPISHVR, Gap 26 mimics an extracellular loop region of Cx43, competitively disrupting gap junction channel formation without affecting hemichannel function. Supplied as a trifluoroacetate (TFA) salt for enhanced solubility and stability, it is widely used in cardiovascular, neurological, and wound healing research to study connexin-mediated signaling, cell-cell communication, and therapeutic modulation of tissue injury responses.
