Identification of gap junctions in the oviduct and regulation of connexins during development and by sexual hormones
(WISSENSCHAFTLICHE VERLAG MBH, 1997)
Gap junctions in epithelial cells of the oviduct were identified by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, Immunohistochemical studies showed that rat, hamster, mouse, and human oviducts contained connexin26 and ...
Role of connexin-based gap junction channels in communication of myelin sheath in schwann cells
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019)
Beneficial and Detrimental Remodeling of Glial Connexin and Pannexin Functions in Rodent Models of Nervous System Diseases
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2019-11)
A variety of glial cell functions are supported by connexin and pannexin proteins. These functions include the modulation of synaptic gain, the control of excitability through regulation of the ion and neurotransmitter ...
Connexin and pannexin (hemi) channels in the liver
(Frontiers Media S.A.Lausanne, 2014-01)
The liver was among the first organs in which connexin proteins have been identified. Hepatocytes harbor connexin32 and connexin26, while non-parenchymal liver cells typically express connexin43. Connexins give rise to ...
Charged residues at the first transmembrane region contribute to the voltage dependence of the slow gate of connexins
(2016)
Connexins (Cxs) are a family of membrane-spanning proteins that form gap junction channels and hemichannels. Connexin-based channels exhibit two distinct voltage-dependent gating mechanisms termed slow and fast gating. ...
Connexins and Pannexins in Bone and Skeletal Muscle
(2017)
Purpose of review To discuss current knowledge on the role of connexins and pannexins in the musculoskeletal system. Recent findings Connexins and pannexins are crucial for the development and maintenance of both bone and ...
Connexin-Mediated Signaling at the Immunological Synapse
(MDPI, 2020)
The immunological synapse (IS) is an intercellular communication platform, organized at the contact site of two adjacent cells, where at least one is an immune cell. Functional IS formation is fundamental for the modulation ...
Role of ROS/RNS in Preeclampsia: Are Connexins the Missing Piece?
(2020)
Preeclampsia is a pregnancy complication that appears after 20 weeks of gestation and is characterized by hypertension and proteinuria, affecting both mother and offspring. The cellular and molecular mechanisms that cause ...
