Unitary permeability of gap junction channels to second messengers measured by FRET microscopy.
Gap junction channels assembled from connexin protein subunits mediate intercellular transfer of ions and metabolites. Impaired channel function is implicated in several hereditary human diseases. In particular, defective permeation of cAMP or inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) through connexin...
