Regulatory effect of connexin 43 on basal Ca2+ signaling in rat ventricular myocytes.
BACKGROUND: It has been found that gap junction-associated intracellular Ca(2+) [Ca(2+)](i) disturbance contributes to the arrhythmogenesis and hyperconstriction in diseased heart. However, whether functional gaps are also involved in the regulation of normal Ca(2+) signaling, in particular the basa...
