Connexin diversity in the heart: insights from transgenic mouse models
Cardiac conduction is mediated by gap junction channels that are formed by connexin (Cx) protein subunits. The connexin family of proteins consists of 24 members, varying in their biophysical properties and ability to combine with other connexins into heteromeric gap junction channels. The mammalian...
