Molecular diversity of connexin and pannexin genes in the retina of the zebrafish Danio rerio.

Abstract excerpt

Gap junctions are among the most widely distributed cell structures involved in cell-to-cell communication. Recently completed genome sequencing projects including species from all major phyla have demonstrated the existence of three distinct gene families, the connexins, pannexins, and innexins, as molecular building blocks of gap junctional communication. In the present study, the authors have addressed the...
