## Abstract The present immunocytochemical study examines in the rat ovary the pattern of expression of connexin 43 (Cx43), a subunit of gap junctions. Using a well‐characterized specific antiserum against rat Cx43, immunoreactivity was not detected in the fetal ovary, i.e., prior to follicular for
Astroglial cells contribute to neuronal maintenance and function in the normal and diseased brain. Gap junctions formed predominantly by connexin43 (cx43) provide important pathways to coordinate astroglial responses. We have previously shown that fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-2, which occurs ubiqu
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
