The connexin gene family, of which there are at least 12 members in rodents, encodes the protein subunits of intercellular membrane channels (gap junction channels). Because of the diverse structural and biophysical properties exhibited by the different connexins, it has been proposed that each may

The PSD-95 family of membraneassociated guanylate kinases (MAGUKs) are thought to act as molecular scaffolds that regulate the assembly and function of the multiprotein signaling complex found at the postsynaptic density of excitatory synapses. Genetic analysis of PSD-95 family members in the mammal
We recently reported the discovery of a homeobox gene cluster on the mouse X chromosome, Rhox, whose 12 members are selectively expressed in specific cell types in reproductive organs. Here we report the existence of 20 additional Rhox homeobox genes in this gene cluster. Most of the newly identifie
