## Abstract Gap‐junction plaques are often observed with tight‐junction strands of vascular endothelial cells but the molecular interaction and functional relationships between these two junctions remain obscure. We herein show that gap‐junction proteins connexin40 (Cx40) and Cx43 are colocalized a

Vascular endothelial cells (EC), communicating with one another across gap junctions, are usually made dysfunctional by hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R); however, very limited information exists regarding the effects of H/R on the endothelial gap junctions. We investigated whether H/R interferes with
The connexins are a family of proteins that form the intercellular membrane channels of gap junctions. Genes encoding 13 different rodent connexins have been cloned and characterized to date. Connexins vary both in their distribution among adult cell types and in the properties of the channels that
