Abstract excerpt
The intracellular domains of connexins are essential for the assembly of gap junctions. For connexin 36 (Cx36), the major neuronal connexin, it has been shown that a dysfunctional PDZ-binding motif interferes with electrical synapse formation. However, it is still unknown how this motif coordinates the transport of Cx36. In the present study, we characterize a phenotype of Cx36 mutants that lack a functional...
