Regulation of connexin expression
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Biomembranes, 2005 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,

HIV-1 Tat: Role in Bystander Toxicity
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020 HIV Tat protein is a critical protein that plays multiple roles in HIV pathogenesis. While its role as the transactivator of HIV transcription is well-established, other non-viral replication-associated functions have been described in several HIV ...

Visualization of the Spiral Ganglion Neuron in Vivo Using a Novel 177Lu Nuclear Molecule Label
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The study developed and validated a radionuclide‐labeled anti‐VGLUT1 antibody probe for the first nuclear imaging of cochlear spiral ganglion neurons (SGNs) in vivo. This approach may provide aid in screening candidates suitable for CI surgery by quantifying the number of surviving SGNs, and predicting the potential for postoperative hearing ...

The connexin43 mimetic peptide Gap19 inhibits hemichannels without altering gap junctional communication in astrocytes [PDF]
, 2014 In the brain, astrocytes represent the cellular population that expresses the highest amount of connexins (Cxs). This family of membrane proteins is the molecular constituent of gap junction channels and hemichannels that provide pathways for direct ...
