Mitochondrial Connexins and Mitochondrial Contact Sites with Gap Junction Structure

Mitochondrial Connexins and Mitochondrial Contact Sites with Gap Junction Structure

Mitochondria contain connexins, a family of proteins that is known to form gap junction channels. Connexins are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum and oligomerized in the Golgi to form hemichannels. Hemichannels from adjacent cells dock with one another to form gap junction channels that aggre...
