High impact information on cx35

  • In the present study, we have shown that Cx35 expression in Xenopus oocytes and N2A cells produced large outward whole cell currents on cell depolarization [1].
  • Using whole cell, cell-attached, and excised patch configurations, we obtained multichannel and single-channel current recordings attributable to the Cx35 hemichannels (I(hc)) that were activated and increased by stepwise depolarization of membrane potential (V(m)) and deactivated by hyperpolarization [1].
  • Extrapolation to V(m) = 0 mV predicted a gamma(hc) of 48 pS, suggesting a unitary conductance of intact Cx35 gap junction channels of approximately 24 pS [1].
  • In this study, zebrafish connexin35 has been cloned from a P1 artificial chromosome (PAC) library [2].
 

Anatomical context of cx35

  • However, water-injected oocytes that were not treated with antisense showed activities attributable to Cx38 hemichannels that were easily distinguishable from Cx35 hemichannels by a significantly larger unitary conductance (gamma(hc): 250-320 pS) [1].
