Interactions between innexins UNC-7 and UNC-9 mediate electrical synapse specificity in the <it>Caenorhabditis elegans </it>locomotory nervous system

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Approximately 10% of <it>Caenorhabditis elegans </it>nervous system synapses are electrical, that is, gap junctions composed of innexins. The locomotory nervous system consists of several pairs of interneurons and three m...
