Regulation of gap junctions by protein phosphorylation

Regulation of gap junctions by protein phosphorylation

Gap junctions are constituted by intercellular channels and provide a pathway for transfer of ions and small molecules between adjacent cells of most tissues. The degree of intercellular coupling mediated by gap junctions depends on the number of gap junction channels and their activity may be a fun...
