Connexin Expression in Human Minor Salivary Glands: An Immunohistochemical Microscopy Study
Molecules, 2022 Connexins (Cxs) are transmembrane proteins involved in the formation of hemichannels and gap junctions (GJs). GJs are involved in various physiological functions, including secretion in glandular tissue. It has been demonstrated that Cx26, Cx32, and Cx43

The Role of Saturated Fatty Acids in Connexin Expression on Endothelial Cells and Eosinophils [PDF]
, 2012 Eotaxin is a potent chemoattractant for eosinophils that becomes elevated in the tissues in response to inflammation and increased adiposity. Therefore, eosinophil migration into adipose tissue should increase in diet-induced obese individuals, yet it ...

Effects of Testosterone on the Expression of Connexin 26 and Connexin 43 in the Uterus of Rats During Early Pregnancy [PDF]
, 2020 Background/Aim: It was hypothesized that testosterone could affect the distribution and expression of connexin 26 and connexin 43 in the uterus. Thus, the effects of testosterone on these parameters in the uterus during the uterine receptivity period ...

DEHP alters connexin-43 expression.
, 2015 A) Control cardiomyocytes display large plaques of gap junctional connexin-43 (red) on the cellular membranes; DEHP-treated cells have increased intracellular connexin-43 (red). White line denotes the region corresponding to the intensity profiles (right

Connexin 43 contributes to ectopic orofacial pain following inferior alveolar nerve injury
Molecular Pain, 2016 Background Clinically, it is well known that injury of mandibular nerve fiber induces persistent ectopic pain which can spread to a wide area of the orofacial region innervated by the uninjured trigeminal nerve branches.

Connexin 43 hemichannels and related diseases
Antibody TherapeuticsAbstract Connexin 43 (Cx43) protein forms hemichannels (connexons) and gap junctions, with hemichannels consisting of six Cx43 molecules and gap junctions formed by two hemichannels. While gap junctions are prevalent in organs like the heart and liver, hemichannels are found in specific cell types, such as astrocytes and osteocytes ...

CO2-dependent opening of connexin 43 hemichannels
eLifeSequence and structure comparisons between alpha and beta connexins, Cx43 and Cx26, revealed that Cx43 has a motif, the carbamylation motif, that confers CO2-sensitivity on a subset of beta connexins.

Connexin 43 Upregulation in Mouse Lungs during Ovalbumin-Induced Asthma. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Connexin (Cx)-based gap junction channels play important roles in the inflammatory response. Cx43 is involved in the pathogenesis of some lung diseases such as acute lung injury. However, the Cx43 expression in asthma is unclear. In the present study, we
