Key functions for gap junctions in skin and hearing.

The Biochemical journal - 1 Sept 2011

Scott Claire A, Kelsell David P

Abstract excerpt

Cx (connexin) proteins are components of gap junctions which are aqueous pores that allow intercellular exchange of ions and small molecules. Mutations in Cx genes are linked to a range of human disorders. In the present review we discuss mutations in β-Cx genes encoding Cx26, Cx30, Cx30.3 and Cx31 which lead to skin disease and deafness. Functional studies with Cx proteins have given insights into...
