Connexins in lymphatic vessel physiology and disease.

FEBS letters - 17 Apr 2014

Meens Merlijn J, Sabine Amélie, Petrova Tatiana V, Kwak Brenda R

Abstract excerpt

Connexins are transmembrane proteins that form gap junction- and hemi-channels. Once inserted into the membrane, hemi-channels (connexons) allow for diffusion of ions and small molecules (<1 kDa) between the extracellular space and the cytosol. Gap junction channels allow diffusion of similar molecules between the cytoplasms of adjacent cells. The expression and function of connexins in blood vessels has been...
