Evolutionary adaptation of the sensitivity of connexin26 hemichannels to CO(2)
CO(2) readily combines with H(2)O to form [Image: see text] and H(+). Because an increase of only 100 nM in the concentration of H(+) (a decrease of 0.1 unit of pH) in blood can prove fatal, the regulated excretion of CO(2) during breathing is an essential life-preserving process. In rodents and hum...
