We have cloned cDNAs for two closely related connexins (Cx), Cx35 and Cx34. 7, from a
perch retinal cDNA library. Sequencing of PCR products from genomic DNA revealed that …

Mammalian retinas contain abundant neuronal gap junctions, particularly in the inner
plexiform layer (IPL), where the two principal neuronal connexin proteins are Cx36 and …

Gap junction channels formed by connexins (Cx) may play essential roles in some
processes that occur during retinal development, such as apoptosis and calcium wave …

Mammalian retinae express multiple connexins that mediate the metabolic and electrical
coupling of various cell types. In retinal neurons, only connexin36, connexin45, connexin50 …

The gap junction protein connexin-45 (Cx45) is expressed in the conduction system of the
heart and in certain neurons of the retina and brain. General and cardiomyocyte-directed …

Investigating the spatial and temporal expression of connexin36 (Cx36) protein in neuronal
tissue is of prime importance to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying extensive …

Connexins are chordate gap junction channel proteins that, by enabling direct
communication between the cytosols of adjacent cells, create a unique cell signalling …

Electrical synapses (gap junctions) in neuronal circuits have become a major focus in the
study of network properties such as synchronization and oscillation (;). Despite the recent …

In rodents, oligodendrocytes and myelinating Schwann cells express connexin32 (Cx32)
and Cx29, which have different localizations in the two cell types. We show here that, in …

Electrophysiological and ultrastructural studies have demonstrated that gap junctions
connect diverse types of neurons in the central nervous system, permitting direct electrical …
