| Definitions |
GapJunction is a CBO:CellMembranePart that acts as a connection between, and adhesion mediator, between two Cells. In addition, the gap allows for the transfer of small Molecules (hence information) between two adjacent Cells.
MeSH: Connections between Cells which allow passage of small Molecules and electric current. Gap junctions were first described anatomically as regions of close apposition between Cells with a narrow (1-2 nm) gap between Cell membranes. The variety in the properties of gap junctions is reflected in the number of CONNEXINS, the family of proteins which form the junctions.
