Gap junctions are specialised intercellular channels that facilitate direct communication between adjacent cells by allowing the regulated exchange of ions, second messengers and small metabolites.
Reversible changes in gap junction structure similar to those previously seen to parallel electrical uncoupling (9, 33, 34) are produced by treating with Ca++ or Mg++ gap junctions isolated in EDTA ...
