Low conductance gap junctions mediate specific electrical coupling in body-wall muscle cells of Caenorhabditis elegans.

Abstract excerpt

Invertebrate innexins and their mammalian homologues, the pannexins, are gap junction proteins. Although a large number of such proteins have been identified, few of the gap junctions that they form have been characterized to provide combined information of biophysical properties, coupling pattern, and molecular compositions. We adapted the dual whole cell voltage clamp technique to in situ analysis of electrical...
