The role of the Cx43/Cx45 gap junction voltage gating on wave propagation and arrhythmogenic activity in cardiac tissue
Abstract Gap junctions (GJs) formed of connexin (Cx) protein are the main conduits of electrical signals in the heart. Studies indicate that the transitional zone of the atrioventricular (AV) node contains heterotypic Cx43/Cx45 GJ channels which are highly sensitive to transjunctional voltage (Vj)....
