...Jin-Ting He; Xiao-Yan LI; Le Yang; Xin Zhao Connexins are the membrane proteins that form high-conductance plasma membrane channels and are the important constituents of gap junctions and hemichannels. Among different types of connexins, connexin 43 is the most widely expressed and studied gap...

...Wenjing Liu; Yujia Cui; Jianxun Sun; Linyi Cai; Jing Xie; Xuedong Zhou Connexin 43 (Cx43)-mediated gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) has been shown to be important in regulating multiple functions of bone cells. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) exhibited controversial effects...

... the conductance of connexin (Cx) 36 (Cx36) gap junction (GJ) channels. In contrast, GJ channels composed of other types of Cxs all were inhibited by n -alcohols independent of their carbon chain length. To identify the putative structural domains of Cx36, responsible for the dual effect of n -alcohols, we...

...Isaac M. Neuhaus; Linda Bone; Suping Wang; Victor Ionasescu; Rudolf Werner The connexin32 (cx32) gene codes for the gap junction protein found in liver, pancreas and nervous tissue. Recently mutations in the coding region of this gene have been associated with the dominant X-linked form of Charcot...

...Todd Miller; Gerhard Dahl; Rudolf Werner A genomic clone for the rat liver gap junction protein (connexin-32) was isolated and characterized by restriction enzyme mapping and sequence analysis. While the complete coding sequence is contained within one uninterrupted block, the 5′-untranslated...
