7-Ketocholesterol modulates intercellular communication through gap-junction in bovine lens epithelial cells

BACKGROUND: Connexin43 (Cx43) is an integral membrane protein that forms intercellular channels called gap junctions. Intercellular communication in the eye lens relies on an extensive network of gap junctions essential for the maintenance of lens transparency. The association of Cx43 with cholester...
