Electrical activation of the heart requires intercellular transfer of current through gap junctions connecting individual cardiac myocytes. Using a combination of light and electron microscopic techniques and molecular approaches, we have characterized the number, size, and spatial distribution of i
The metabolic fate of transported guanosine was examined in adult rat cardiac myocytes. Freshly isolated cells were incubated with 10 gM or 100 gM [3H]guanosine and the nucleotide products extracted and examined for radiolabel distribution. The data presented show significant incorporation of guanos
