Abstract excerpt
Indirect evidence suggests that the permeability of connexin 43 (Cx43) gap-junctional channels (connexons) to small organic molecules (M(r) < 1,000) is decreased by protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated phosphorylation of Ser-368. However, it is currently unknown whether this effect is produced directly by phosphorylation of this residue or whether cytoplasmic regulatory factors are required for the decrease in Cx43...
