Opposing modulation of Cx26 gap junctions and hemichannels by CO <sub>2</sub>
2019-03-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Summary</h4> Cx26 hemichannels open in response to moderate elevations of CO 2 (PCO 2 55 mmHg) via a carbamylation reaction that depends on residues K125 and R104. Here we investigate the action of CO 2 on Cx26 gap junctions. Using a dye transfer assay, we found that an elevated PCO 2 of 55 mmHg greatly delayed the permeation of a fluorescent glucose analogue (NBDG) between HeLa cells coupled by Cx26 gap...
