DISTINCT ROLES FOR Cx37 AND Cx40 IN REGULATING VASCULAR RESPONSES FOLLOWING ISCHEMIA
Gap junctions are intercellular channels that permit passage of electrical and chemical signals between neighbouring cells. Vascular endothelium typically co-expresses Cx37 and Cx40, but may downregulate its expression of Cx37 (and upregulate Cx43) in response to changes in flow. The specific regula...
