Introduction
Structural component of gap junctions (PubMed:17551008, PubMed:19340074, PubMed:21094651, PubMed:26753910, PubMed:16849369, PubMed:19384972). Gap junctions are dodecameric channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells. They are formed by the docking of two hexameric hemichannels, one from each cell membrane (PubMed:17551008, PubMed:19340074, PubMed:21094651, PubMed:26753910). Small molecules and ions diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell via the central pore (PubMed:21094651, PubMed:16849369, PubMed:19384972).
