Gap junctions are specialized plasma membrane regions that contain collections of
transmembrane channels which provide a low resistance pathway directly linking adjacent …

Gap junctions are believed to play an important role in cellular homeostasis and the
regulation of growth and division (see Gilula et al. 1972; Loewenstein 1973). By electron …

Abstract Goodenough, Daniel A.: The structure of cell membranes involved in intercellular
communication. Am J Clin Pathol 63: 636–645, 1975. The molecular structure of mouse …

Rabbit ventricle either was fixed in glutaraldehyde without injury (control) or was injured
before fixation, presumably causing electrical uncoupling of the gap junctions. All tissue was …

Cells of organized tissues are interconnected at junctions that provide pathways for direct
flow of matter between cell interiors (Loewenstein, 1966, 1979; Furshpan and Potter, 1968) …

High‐resolution, fluorescence deconvolution (DV) microscopy was implemented to obtain a
detailed view of the organization and structural composition of gap junctions assembled …

This review gives an updated excerpt of recent advances in our understanding of brain gap
junctions. It starts with a brief description of the principle molecular composition of gap …

In this paper, the isolation of rat liver gap junctions from alkali-extracted rat liver plasma
membranes is described. The purification is significantly more rapid than the commonly …

A new method for the purification of gap junctions is described which depends on the
extraction of cell monolayers or tissue homogenates with Triton X‐100. The major band on …

Rat liver gap junctions were isolated in Ca2+-free media and analyzed in controlled
environments by x-ray diffraction of partially oriented pellets. Different treatments of the same …
