The highly conserved Gln49 and Ser50 of mammalian connexin43 are present in chick connexin43 and essential for functional gap junction channels.

Abstract excerpt

In an attempt to compare the regulation of chick connexin43 channels to those of mammalian connexin43, we found that the nucleotide sequence reported for chick connexin43 differs from that of the chick connexin gene by two codons that had been entered as histidine49 (H49) and valine50 (V50) (accession no. M29003), but are in fact glutamine49 (Q49) and serine50 (S50). Neuro2A cells were transfected with corrected...
