Lack of vascular connexin 40 is associated with hypertension and irregular arteriolar vasomotion.

Physiological genomics - 16 Apr 2003

de Wit Cor, Roos Frederik, Bolz Steffen-Sebastian, Pohl Ulrich

Abstract excerpt

Gap-junctional communication coordinates the behavior of individual cells in arterioles. Gap junctions are formed by connexins 40 (Cx40), Cx43, Cx37, and Cx45 in the vasculature. Previously, we have shown that lack of Cx40 impairs conduction of dilatory signals along arterioles. Herein, we examin...
