Gap‐junction channels connect the interiors of adjacent cells and can be arranged into
aggregates or plaques consisting of hundreds to thousands of channel particles. The …

Intercellular gap junction channels are thought to form when oligomers of connexins from
one cell (connexons) register and pair with connexons from a neighboring cell en route to …

Abstract Treatment of WB-F344 rat liver epithelial cells with DDT (1, l-bis (p-chlorophenyl)-2,
2, 2-trichloroethane) or lindane induces a loss of gap junction plaques and a decrease in the …

Clones of rat liver epithelial cells genotypically altered by mutation or by a variety of
oncogenes were analyzed by microinjection‐dye transfer, immunofluorescence confocal …

The gap junction gene connexin 43 (Cx43) showed tumor-suppressing effects on various
tumor cell lines. We have previously demonstrated that Cx43 inhibited expression of S …

Prior to confluence, cultures of Madin Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells expressed gap
junctional communication, as assessed by fluorescent dye transfer, as well as relatively high …

Connexins (cx), structural components of gap junction, are believed to play a role in the
regulation of cell proliferation and suppression of the neoplastic phenotype. We used human …

Gap junction channels are made of a family proteins called connexins. The best-studied type
of connexin, Connexin43 (Cx43), is phosphorylated at several sites in its C-terminus. The …

Gap junctions are cellular structures which permit direct exchanges of small molecules from
cytoplasm to cytoplasm in most of the cells of metazoan organisms. For four decades, it has …

The skin tumour promoter 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) and the chlorinated
insecticide, endosulfan, are two potent Inhibitors of gap junctional intercellular …
