Function
Gap junctions are dodecameric channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells. They are formed by the docking of two hexameric hemichannels, one from each cell membrane. Small molecules and ions diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell via the central pore. Structural component of gap junctions.
Reactome Pathway
Transport of connexins along the secretory pathway (R-HSA-190827 )
Gap junction assembly (R-HSA-190861 )
Transport of connexons to the plasma membrane (R-HSA-190872 )
Oligomerization of connexins into connexons (R-HSA-190704 )
