Abstract excerpt
Rapid advances in understanding the molecular biology of the gap junctional proteins - connexins (Cx) - have revealed that these proteins are indispensable for various cellular functions. Recent findings that mutational alterations of Cx genes leads to several quite different human diseases provide additional evidence that these proteins possess several not yet fully understood functions. Many different mutations...
