Autoregulation of Connexin43 Gap Junction Formation by Internally Translated Isoforms
During each heartbeat, intercellular electrical coupling via connexin43 (Cx43) gap junctions enables synchronous cardiac contraction. In failing hearts, impaired Cx43 trafficking reduces gap junction coupling, resulting in arrhythmias. Here we report that internal translation within Cx43 (GJA1) mRNA...
