Progress in the characterization of gap junctions and their constituent connexin sub-units is leading to a greater understanding of the structure, function, and regulation of this cell-cell communication channel. Although much of the experimental evidence generated to date is correlative, recent wor

Gap junctional communication plays a vital role in embryogenesis, cell differentiation and the co-ordination of tissue responses. Gap junctions are formed by a family of closely-related proteins called connexins which show tissue-specific patterns of expression. The role of gap junctions in the mamm
The presence of alpha 1 (Cx43) gap junction protein was demonstrated in rat, mouse, guinea pig, and bovine adrenal glands with immunocytochemical techniques. The presence of six other connexin species was not detected in the adrenal glands studied. The gap junction stain within the adrenal cortex wa
## Abstract Gap junctions are intercellular communicating channels responsible for the synchronized activity of cardiomyocytes. Recent studies have shown that the membraneβassociated guanylate kinase protein, zonula occludensβ1 (ZOβ1) can bind to catenins in epithelial cells and act as an adapter f
