Abstract excerpt
Accumulating evidence indicates that gap junctions play an important role in the maintenance of normal cell growth, so that genes for the connexin gap junction proteins form a family of tumor-suppressor genes. Although mice from which nine types of connexin gene are deleted have been established, little information from carcinogenesis experiments with these mice is available. We have previously found several...
