The establishment of gap junctional intercellular communication is a prerequisite for
appropriate control of tissue homeostasis. Gap junctions consist of connexin proteins …

Connexins are members of a large family of transmembrane proteins that form
hemichannels or gap junctions. These channels allow the exchange of ions and small …

Connexin43 (Cx43) is a gap junction protein that forms multimeric channels that enable
intercellular communication through the direct transfer of signals and metabolites. Although …

Mutations in the genes that encode Connexin 26 (GJB2) and Connexin 30 (GJB6) are the
most common known cause of hereditary nonsyndromic sensorineural deafness. Cx26 and …

Connexin 33 (Cx33) is a testis‐specific gap junction protein. We previously reported that
Cx33 exerts dominant‐negative effect on gap junction intercellular communication by …

Purpose To investigate the structural remodeling in gap junctions associated with
cholesterol redistribution during fiber cell maturation in the adult chicken lens. We also …

Progression of numerous neoplasms could involve alterations of gap junction channels
composed of connexins (Cxs). Disorders of expression and cellular displacement of Cxs …

Until relatively recently, it was believed that many tissues were truly syncytial, without
discrete cellular borders, a view supported by electophysiological measurements of long …

The interendothelial junction contains several proteins including cadherins and connexins
that are constituent proteins of adherens junctions (AJs) and gap junctions (GJs) …

Gap junctions are intercellular channels responsible for the exchangeof ions, second
messengers and small metabolites between adjacentcells, and formed of connexin protein …
