Distinct moieties underlie biphasic H(+) gating of connexin43 channels, producing a pH optimum for intercellular communication

Most mammalian cells can intercommunicate via connexin-assembled, gap-junctional channels. To regulate signal transmission, connexin (Cx) channel permeability must respond dynamically to physiological and pathophysiological stimuli. One key stimulus is intracellular pH (pH(i)), which is modulated by...
