Abstract excerpt
Mutations in connexin 31 (Cx31) are associated with erythrokeratodermia variabilis (EKV), hearing impairment and peripheral neuropathy; however, the pathological mechanism of Cx31 mutants remains unknown. This study analyzed 11 disease-associated Cx31 variants and one non-disease-associated Cx31 variant and compared their intracellular distribution and assembly in HeLa cells and their effect on these cells. The...
