Abstract excerpt
Eight different connexins are expressed in mouse epidermis with overlapping expression patterns in different epidermal layers. Analyses of mice with deficiency or modifications of distinct connexins yielded insights into the large variety of connexins in the epidermis. Connexin43 (Cx43) deficiency in mouse epidermis resulted in a significant acceleration of wound closure. Truncation by 125 amino acid residues of...
