The Drosophila gap junction channel gene innexin 2 controls foregut development in response to Wingless signalling.

Journal of cell science - 1 May 2002

Bauer Reinhard, Lehmann Corinna, Fuss Bernhard, Eckardt Franka, Hoch Michael

Abstract excerpt

In invertebrates, the direct communication of neighbouring cells is mediated by gap junctions, which are composed of oligomers of the innexin family of transmembrane proteins. Studies of the few known innexin mutants in Drosophila and C. elegans have shown that innexin proteins, which are structurally analogous to the connexins in vertebrates, play a major structural role as gap junctional core components in...
