Role and Posttranslational Regulation of Cx46 Hemichannels and Gap Junction Channels in the Eye Lens

Connexins are a family of proteins that can form two distinct types of channels: hemichannels and gap junction channels. Hemichannels are composed of six connexin subunits and when open allow for exchanges between the cytoplasm and the extracellular milieu. Gap junction channels are formed by head-t...
