Unique and redundant connexin contributions to lens development.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 11 Jan 2002

White Thomas W

Abstract excerpt

Connexin genes encode intercellular channels that help to coordinate development. In mice, the targeted deletion of different connexins produces disparate effects on ocular growth and differentiation in the lens, and the need for multiple channel subunits is poorly understood. Knockout of Cx46 ca...
