Tubulin-Dependent Transport of Connexin-36 Potentiates the Size and Strength of Electrical Synapses

Tubulin-Dependent Transport of Connexin-36 Potentiates the Size and Strength of Electrical Synapses

Connexin-36 (Cx36) electrical synapses strengthen transmission in a calcium/calmodulin (CaM)/calmodulin-dependent kinase II (CaMKII)-dependent manner similar to a mechanism whereby the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor subunit NR2B facilitates chemical transmission. Since NR2B−microtubu...
