Abstract excerpt
Gap junctions play important roles in auditory function and skin biology; mutations in the Cx26 (connexin26) gene are the predominant cause of inherited non-syndromic deafness and cause disfiguring skin disorders. Mass spectrometry (MS) was used to identify PTMs (post-translational modifications) of Cx26 and to determine whether they occur at sites of disease-causing mutations. Cx26 was isolated from transfected...
