✦ Synopsis

Gap junctions are ubiquitous plasma membrane specializations that allow cells to exchange small molecules and ions directly. The isolation, biochemical characterization and molecular cloning of the major protein of rat liver gap junctions lead to a clearer view of these membrane zones that allow cells to 'talk' to each other and co-ordinate their activities in tissues and organs.

## Abstract Since the initial identification of gap junctions in the adrenal gland, it has been proposed that a system involving direct cell–cell communication might be involved in adrenal cortical functions. Gap junction channels do, in fact, provide pathways for direct intercellular exchange of s
