Modulation of intercellular communication by differential regulation and heteromeric mixing of co-expressed connexins
Intercellular communication may be regulated by the differential expression of subunit gap junction proteins (connexins) which form channels with differing gating and permeability properties. Endothelial cells express three different connexins (connexin37, connexin40, and connexin43) in vivo. To stu...
