Polyvalent Cations Constitute the Voltage Gating Particle in Human Connexin37 Hemichannels

Connexins oligomerize to form intercellular channels that gate in response to voltage and chemical agents such as divalent cations. Historically, these are believed to be two independent processes. Here, data for human connexin37 (hCx37) hemichannels indicate that voltage gating can be explained as...
