Manipulating Connexin Communication Channels: Use of Peptidomimetics and the Translational Outputs

Gap junctions are key components underpinning multicellularity. They provide cell to cell channel pathways that enable direct intercellular communication and cellular coordination in tissues and organs. The channels are constructed of a family of connexin (Cx) membrane proteins. They oligomerize ins...
