Innexins: members of an evolutionarily conserved family of gap-junction proteins.

Biochimica et biophysica acta - 10 Jun 2005

Phelan Pauline

Abstract excerpt

Gap junctions are clusters of intercellular channels that provide cells, in all metazoan organisms, with a means of communicating directly with their neighbours. Surprisingly, two gene families have evolved to fulfil this fundamental, and highly conserved, function. In vertebrates, gap junctions are assembled from a large family of connexin proteins. Innexins were originally characterized as the structural...
