Ouabain Increases Gap Junctional Communication in Epithelial Cells

Ouabain Increases Gap Junctional Communication in Epithelial Cells

Background/Aims: The finding that endogenous ouabain acts as a hormone prompted efforts to elucidate its physiological function. In previous studies, we have shown that 10 nM ouabain (i.e., a concentration within the physiological range) modulates cell-cell contacts such as tight junctions and apica...
