Abstract excerpt
The assembly of gap junction intercellular communication channels was studied by analysis of the molecular basis of the dysfunction of connexin 32 mutations associated with the X-linked form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in which peripheral nervous transmission is impaired. A cell-free translation system showed that six recombinant connexin 32 mutated proteins-four point mutations at the cytoplasmic amino...
