Developmental changes of connexin40 and connexin43 mRNA distribution patterns in the rat heart
1 Nov 1996
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Gap junctions have been demonstrated ultrastructurally in cardiac regions where connexin40 (Cx40) and connexin43 (Cx43) protein could not be detected immunohistochemically. We investigated therefore the distribution of their mRNAs with more sensitive techniques. METHODS: In situ hybridizations with Cx40 and Cx43 cRNA probes were performed on sections of rat hearts from 9 embryonic days (ED 9) to...
