Molecular mechanism of rectification at identified electrical synapses in the Drosophila giant fiber system.

Current biology : CB - 23 Dec 2008

Abstract excerpt

Electrical synapses are neuronal gap junctions that mediate fast transmission in many neural circuits. The structural proteins of gap junctions are the products of two multigene families. Connexins are unique to chordates; innexins/pannexins encode gap-junction proteins in prechordates and chorda...
