In our body, all the cells are constantly sharing chemical and electrical information with other
cells. This intercellular communication allows them to respond in a concerted way to …

As the physiology of synapses began to be explored in the 1950s, it became clear that
electrical communication between neurons could not always be explained by chemical …

Connexin family proteins assemble into hexameric channels called hemichannels/
connexons, which function as transmembrane channels or dock together to form gap …

Connexins (Cxs) function as gap junction (GJ) channels and hemichannels that mediate
intercellular and transmembrane signaling, respectively. Here, we investigated the proximal …

Connexins (Cxs) have the ability to form channels that allow the exchange of
ions/metabolites between adjacent cells (gap junction channels, GJC) or between the intra …

To mediate cell-to-cell communication via gap junction channels (GJCs), connexins (Cx)
traffic as hexameric hemichannels to the plasma membrane, which dock end-to-end …

Connexins (Cxs) are transmembrane proteins that assemble into gap junction channels
(GJCs) and hemichannels (HCs). Previous researches support the involvement of Rho …

Connexins are a family of proteins that can form two distinct types of channels:
hemichannels and gap junction channels. Hemichannels are composed of six connexin …

Connexin hemichannels (HCs) expressed at the plasma membrane of mammalian cells are
of paramount importance for intercellular communication. In physiological conditions, HCs …

Connexins are membrane bound proteins that facilitate direct and local paracrine mediated
cell-to-cell communication through their ability to oligomerise into hexameric hemichannels …
