Reversible changes in gap junction structure similar to those previously seen to parallel electrical uncoupling (9, 33, 34) are produced by treating with Ca++ or Mg++ gap junctions isolated in EDTA ...

Connexons form the basis of hemichannels and gap junctions. They are composed of six tetraspan proteins called connexins. Connexons can function as individual hemichannels, releasing cytosolic factors ...

The same kind of neurons can have completely different wiring diagrams in the rat and mouse, as mice lack intercellular molecular channels known as gap junctions, researchers at Karolinska Institutet ...
