Innexins form two types of channels [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2007 Injury to the central nervous system triggers glial calcium waves in both vertebrates and invertebrates. In vertebrates the pannexin1 ATP‐release channel appears to provide for calcium wave initiation and propagation. The innexins, which form invertebrate gap junctions and have sequence similarity with the pannexins, are candidates to form non ...

Connexins, innexins and pannexins: Bridging the communication gap [PDF]
Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta - Biomembranes, 2005 Multicellular organisms have evolved different mechanismsof intercellular communication, the most direct and quickest ofwhich is through channels that link the cytoplasms of adjacentcells. In plants, a cytoplasmic continuity exists throughelongated cytoplasmic bridges termed plasmodesmata, whichcross the thick cell walls surrounding plant cells.

Gap Junction Channels of Innexins and Connexins: Relations and Computational Perspectives [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019 Gap junction (GJ) channels in invertebrates have been used to understand cell-to-cell communication in vertebrates. GJs are a common form of intercellular communication channels which connect the cytoplasm of adjacent cells. Dysregulation and structural alteration of the gap junction-mediated communication have been proven to be associated with a ...

Journal of Membrane Biology, 2003 Connexins and probably innexins are the principal constituents of gap junctions, while claudins and occludins are principal tight functional constituents. All have similar topologies with four a-helical transmembrane segments (TMSs), and all exhibit well-

Cell Communication and Adhesion, 2001
Innexins are functionally analogous to the vertebrate connexins, and the innexin family of gap junction proteins has been identified in many invertebrates, including Drosophila and C. elegans. The genome sequencing project has identified 25 innexins in C. elegans.

Innexins Ogre and Inx2 are required in glial cells for normal postembryonic development of the Drosophila central nervous system [PDF]
Journal of Cell Science, 2013 Innexins are one of two gene families that have evolved to permit neighbouring cells in multicellular systems to communicate directly. Innexins are found in prechordates and persist in small numbers in chordates as divergent sequences termed pannexins ...

Connexins, pannexins, innexins: novel roles of “hemi-channels” [PDF]
Pflugers Archiv European Journal of Physiology, 2008 The advent of multicellular organisms, some 800 million years ago, necessitated the development of mechanisms for cell-to-cell synchronization and for the spread of signals across increasingly large cell populations [168, 185]. Many structures and mechanisms have evolved to achieve such functions [4, 15].

Unnexins: Homologs of innexin proteins in Trypanosomatidae parasites
Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2021AbstractLarge‐pore channels, including those formed by connexin, pannexin, innexin proteins, are part of a broad family of plasma membrane channels found in vertebrates and invertebrates, which share topology features. Despite their relevance in parasitic diseases such as Chagas and malaria, it was unknown whether these large‐pore channels are present ...
