## Abstract The study of ion channels has relied heavily on the use of pharmacological blocking agents. However, many of these agents have multiple effects, which may compromise interpretation of results when the affected mechanisms/pathways mediate similar functions. Volume regulated anion channel
## Abstract Gap junctions are intercellular channels formed by hemichannels (or connexons) from two neighboring cells. Hemichannels, which are composed of proteins called connexins, can function as conduits of ATP and glutamate, and interact with adhesion molecules and other signaling elements. As
