Epidermal growth factor regulates connexin 43 in the human epididymis: role of gap junctions in azoospermia

17 May 2012

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Gap junctions (GJs) allow for direct communication between adjacent cells. They are composed of connexons consisting of transmembrane proteins, connexins (Cxs). The objectives of this study were to determine if GJ proteins GJA1 (Cx43), GJB1 (Cx32) and GJB2 (Cx26) are present in the epididymis of men with a normal epididymis, to assess whether or not Cx expression and localization are altered in...
