Extrinsic and Intrinsic Factors Determine Expression Levels of Gap Junction-Forming Connexins in the Mammalian Retina

Gap junctions (GJs) are not static bridges; instead, GJs as well as the molecular building block connexin (Cx) proteins undergo major expression changes in the degenerating retinal tissue. Various progressive diseases, including retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, age-related retinal degeneration, etc.,...
