Altered expression and function of astroglial gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43) has
increasingly been associated to neurotoxicity in Alzheimer disease (AD). Although earlier …

Glial gap junction proteins, called connexins (Cxs), form gap junctions in the central nervous
system (CNS) to allow the bidirectional cytosolic exchange of molecules between adjacent …

Astrocytes have a role in maintaining normal neuronal functions, some of which depend on
connexins, protein subunits of gap junction channels and hemichannels. Under …

The distribution of the astrocytic gap junctional protein, connexin43 (Cx43) was compared
immunohistochemically with that of amyloid plaques in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) brain. By …

Astrocytes play key roles in brain functions through dynamic interactions with neurons. One
of their typical features is to express high levels of connexins (Cxs), Cx43 and Cx30, the gap …

There is intensive gap‐junctional coupling between glial processes, but their significance in
sensory functions remains unknown. C onnexin‐43 (C x43), a major component of astrocytic …

Panglial networks are essential for normal physiology in the CNS, and the function of distinct
connexins participating in these networks is not well understood. We generated Connexin32 …

Abstract Connexin43 (Cx43) is the most abundant gap junction protein of the brain, where it
is predominantly expressed in astrocytes. Recent studies imply a role of Cx43 in the …

Abstract Connexin43 (Cx43) mainly provides the molecular basis for astrocytic gap
junctions. Interastrocytic coupling is thought to mediate extracellular ion homeostasis, long …

The gap junction protein connexin43 (Cx43) is the primary component of intercellular
channels in cardiac tissue and in astrocytes, the most abundant type of glial cells in the …
