Electrical synaptic transmission requires a postsynaptic scaffolding protein

Electrical synaptic transmission requires a postsynaptic scaffolding protein

Electrical synaptic transmission relies on neuronal gap junctions containing channels constructed by Connexins. While at chemical synapses neurotransmitter-gated ion channels are critically supported by scaffolding proteins, it is unknown if channels at electrical synapses require similar scaffold s...
