[The role of intercellular communication via "gap junctions" in disease].

Abstract excerpt

Gap junctional intercellular communication plays an important role in the maintenance of cellular homeostasis. The flow of chemical messengers through gap junctions, gap junctional intercellular communication, is essential in processes such as electrical coupling, embryonic development and adaptive tissue response. Gap junctions are formed by connexin proteins. Mutational alterations in the connexin genes are...
