Passover eliminates gap junctional communication between neurons of the giant fiber system in Drosophila. off.

Journal of neurobiology - 1 Jul 1996

Sun Y A, Wyman R J

Abstract excerpt

The Passover-related gene family plays significant roles in cellular connectivity. Mutations in three family members from Drosophila and from Caenorhabditis elegans alter a few specific electrical synapses. The passage of cobalt between Drosophila neurons was used to assay the presence of gap jun...
