Abstract

Gap junctions are ubiquitous structures consisting of paired transmembrane channels which allow for cell-cell exchanges. While the morphological appearance and general physiological properties of gap junctions are surprisingly uniform throughout the animal kingdom there is increasing evidence for the presence of tissue-specific proteins, which are highly conserved species. There is evidence that these proteins may belong to several protein families.
