Spatial and temporal patterns of distribution of the gap junction protein connexin43 during mouse gastrulation and organogenesis

Connexin43 (Cx43) is a member of the family of channel-forming proteins that make up the gap junction and are believed to provide pathways for cell-cell exchange of developmental signals. We have used immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy to characterize the patterns of distribution of Cx43 in...
