All-optical analysis of electrical coupling in muscle ensembles reveals contributions of individual innexins to cell synchronization and locomotion

Gap junctions (GJs), formed by connexins in vertebrates and innexins in invertebrates, enable direct ion flow between adjacent cells. GJ coupling is typically analyzed by electrophysiological methods, which, however, are invasive and cannot be conducted ...

A possible flip-flop genetic mechanism for reciprocal gene expression. [PDF]

, 2005
Innexins are a family of transmembrane proteins involved in the formation of gap junctions, specific intercellular channels, in invertebrates. Analyses of the entire innexin family during Drosophila melanogaster embryonic development shows the occurrence

Functional implications of calcium permeability of the channel formed by pannexin 1. [PDF]

, 2006
Although human pannexins (PanX) are homologous to gap junction molecules, their physiological function in vertebrates remains poorly understood. Our results demonstrate that overexpression of PanX1 results in the formation of Ca(2+)-permeable gap ...

Convergent structural and functional evolution of CALHM ion channel with connexins and pannexins-innexins

, 2012
CALHM1 (calcium homeostasis modulator 1) is a plasma membrane ion channel that mediates neuronal excitability in response to changes in extracellular Ca2+ concentration.

Molecular and Biophysiological Differences in Neuronal Innexin Gap Junctions Likely Underlie Unique Circuit Behaviors in Hydra vulgaris

, 2022
Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Washington, 2022Connexins, in vertebrates, and Innexins, in invertebrates, are non-homologous gene families that are both known to form functionally similar channels.

Mechanosensitive unpaired innexin channels in C. elegans touch neurons

, 2014
Invertebrate innexin proteins share sequence homology with vertebrate pannexins and general membrane topology with both pannexins and connexins. While connexins form gap junctions that mediate intercellular communication, pannexins are thought to ...

Pannexin: to gap or not to gap, is that a question?

, 2006
Vertebrates express two families of gap junction proteins: the well characterized connexins and the recently discovered pannexins. The latter are related to invertebrate innexins.

Developmental expression and molecular characterization of two gap junction channel proteins expressed during embryogenesis in the grasshopper Schistocerca americana

, 1999
Gap junctions are membrane channels that directly connect the cytoplasm of neighboring cells, allowing the exchange of ions and small molecules. Two analogous families of proteins, the connexins and innexins, are the channel-forming molecules in ...
