connexin (gap-junction protein)

Function

• Ca+2/calmodulin & Tyr phosphorylation may mediate gap junction closure

Structure

• two hexamers in plasma membranes of juxtaposed cells form a gap junction

More general terms

• transmembrane 4 protein
• oligomerizing protein
• channel
• plasma membrane protein
• PEST protein
• calmodulin binding protein
