Connexin Expression in Human Minor Salivary Glands: An Immunohistochemical Microscopy Study

Connexin Expression in Human Minor Salivary Glands: An Immunohistochemical Microscopy Study

Connexins (Cxs) are transmembrane proteins involved in the formation of hemichannels and gap junctions (GJs). GJs are involved in various physiological functions, including secretion in glandular tissue. It has been demonstrated that Cx26, Cx32, and Cx43 are mainly expressed in glands, but no data a...
