Connexinplexity: The spatial and temporal expression of <i>connexin</i> genes during vertebrate organogenesis
2021-11-20
Abstract excerpt
Animal development requires coordinated communication between cells. The Connexin family of proteins is a major contributor to intercellular communication in vertebrates by forming gap junction channels that facilitate the movement of ions, small molecules, and metabolites between cells. Additionally, individual hemichannels can provide a conduit to the extracellular space for paracrine and autocrine signaling. Co...
