概要 Gap junctions contain cell-cell communicating channels that consist of multimeric proteins called connexins and mediate the exchange of low-molecular-weight metabolites and ions between contacting cells. Gap junctional communication has long been hypothesized to play a crucial role in the maintenance of homeostasis, morphogenesis, cell differentiation, and growth control in multicellular organisms. The recent discovery that human genetic disorders are associated with mutations in connexin genes and experimental data on connexin knockout mice have provided direct evidence that gap junctional communication is essential for tissue functions and organ development.
