Functional roles of the amino terminal domain in determining biophysical properties of Cx50 gap junction channels
Communication through gap junction channels is essential for synchronized and coordinated cellular activities. The gap junction channel pore size, its switch control for opening/closing, and the modulations by chemicals can be different depending on the connexin subtypes that compose the channel. Re...
