Nonredundant Gap Junction Functions

Physiology, 2003
The need for molecular heterogeneity of gap junction channel proteins in vivo has been enigmatic. Recently, functional replacement of one channel gene with another in mice and flies has revealed that cellular health depends not simply on gap junction communication but also requires the correct type of intercellular channel subunit.

Using gap sequences to estimate gap acceptance functions

Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, 1981
Abstract Traditional gap acceptance functions have been estimated based on the first gap observed. In this paper we show that the critical gap of drivers is decreasing on the average, as they are waiting for an acceptable gap. Our gap acceptance function is based on a probit model which assumes a normal distribution of gaps across gaps and drivers.

Gap junction function

2000
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the functions of gap junction. The chapter considers the methodological requirements for investigating gap junction functions, the problems that complicate such studies, and the new tools and experimental strategies that may aid in this quest.

On annular functions with hadamard gaps

Complex Variables, Theory and Application: An International Journal, 1984
Let and let It is shown in particular that, if ƒ has Hadamard gaps, i.e. if then there exist and curves such that where μ cannot be replaced by a faster growing function. If ƒ does not have Hadamard gaps then can be bounded on a radius.

New functions for gap junctions

Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 1995
The most significant finding of the past year in gap junction research has been the association of connexin defects with human diseases. Connexin32 mutations cause X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a demyelinating peripheral neuropathy. Mutations in connexin43 may underlie cardiac malformations in visceroatrial heterotaxia syndromes.

Diverse functions of vertebrate gap junctions

Trends in Cell Biology, 1998
Gap junctions are clusters of intercellular channels between adjacent cells. The channels are formed by the direct apposition of oligomeric transmembrane proteins, permitting the direct exchange of ions and small molecules (< 1 kDa) between cells without involvement of the extracellular space.

Gap-Junctional Regulation of Osteoclast Function

Critical Reviews in Eukaryotic Gene Expression, 2003
Previous research has shown that bone-resorbing osteoclasts contain connexin molecules that organize to hemichannel-forming connexons, which in turn form functional gap junctions in neighboring cells. So far only little is known about the role of gap junctions in osteoclasts.

Gap junctions: structure and function (Review)

Molecular Membrane Biology, 2002
Gap junctions are plasma membrane spatial microdomains constructed of assemblies of channel proteins called connexins in vertebrates and innexins in invertebrates. The channels provide direct intercellular communication pathways allowing rapid exchange of ions and metabolites up to approximately 1 kD in size.
