Fig. 5. Western blots of lens cortical homogenates (C) and lens nuclear homogenates (N) from wild-type,
3 homozygous knockout (/), and
8 homozygous knockout (/) mice. The left panel shows the results obtained using an anti-
8 connexin antibody. The upper arrow indicates the intact
8 connexin protein band, while the lower arrow points to the cleaved bands of
8 connexin. The right panel shows the results obtained using an anti-
3 connexin antibody. The arrow indicates the cleaved forms of
3 connexin. The molecular markers (in kDa) are listed on the right-hand side.
