    Citation: BMC Cell Biology 2016 17(Suppl 1):S17
    Content type: Review Published on:

  8. Connexins mediate intercellular communication by assembling into hexameric channel complexes that act as hemichannels and gap junction channels. Most connexins are characterized by a very rapid turn-over in a ...
