The Concise Guide to PHARMACOLOGY 2025/26: Introduction and Other Protein Targets
British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue S1, Page S1-S23, December 2025.The Concise Guide to Pharmacology 2025/26 marks the seventh edition in this series of biennial publications in the British Journal of Pharmacology. Presented in landscape format, the guide provides a comparative overview of the pharmacology of drug target families. The concise nature of the Concise Guide refers to the style of presentation, being clear,

Are there gap junctions without connexins or pannexins?
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019 Background Gap junctions (GJ) are one of the most common forms of intercellular communication. GJs are assembled from proteins that form channels connecting the cytoplasm of adjacent cells.

Purinergic mechanisms in neuroinflammation: An update from molecules to behavior. [PDF]
, 2015 The principle functions of neuroinflammation are to limit tissue damage and promote tissue repair in response to pathogens or injury. While neuroinflammation has utility, pathophysiological inflammatory responses, to some extent, underlie almost all ...

Connexin43- and Pannexin-Based Channels in Neuroinflammation and Cerebral Neuropathies
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017 Connexins (Cx) are largely represented in the central nervous system (CNS) with 11 Cx isoforms forming intercellular channels. Moreover, in the CNS, Cx43 can form hemichannels (HCs) at non-junctional membrane as does the related channel-forming Pannexin1

Mechanisms of Action and Cell Death Associated with Clostridium perfringens Toxins. [PDF]
, 2018 Clostridium perfringens uses its large arsenal of protein toxins to produce histotoxic, neurologic and intestinal infections in humans and animals. The major toxins involved in diseases are alpha (CPA), beta (CPB), epsilon (ETX), iota (ITX), enterotoxin (

Role of Connexin/Pannexin containing channels in infectious diseases [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2014 In recent years it has become evident that gap junctions and hemichannels, in concert with extracellular ATP and purinergic receptors, play key roles in several physiological processes and pathological conditions. However, only recently has their importance in infectious diseases been explored, likely because early reports indicated that connexin ...

Posttranslational Modifications in Connexins and Pannexins [PDF]
, 2018 Posttranslational modification is a common cellular process that is used by cells to ensure a particular protein function. This can happen in a variety of ways, e.g., from the addition of phosphates or sugar residues to a particular amino acid, ensuring ...

The role of the inflammasome in cellular responses to toxins and bacterial effectors [PDF]
, 2018 Invading pathogens are recognized by mammalian cells through dedicated receptors found either at the cell surface or in the cytoplasm. These receptors, like the trans-membrane Toll-like Receptors (TLR) or the cytosolic Nod-like Receptors (NLR), initiate ...

Innexins: Expression, Regulation, and Functions
Frontiers in Physiology, 2018 The innexin (Inx) proteins form gap junction channels and non-junctional channels (named hemichannels) in invertebrates. These channels participate in cellular communication playing a relevant role in several physiological processes.
