hGDAsBMP also expressed connexin 43 (CX43), glutamate transporter 1 (GLT - 1), AKAP12 and glia - derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF), all of which are expressed in the astroglial lineage [23]--[25]. (journals.plos.org)
The marked similarity between the voltage gating behavior of UNC - 7S and L could indicate that the amino terminus has little effect on voltage gating of these channels, in stark contrast to what has been found for connexins (summarized in [35]-RRB-; alternatively, it is possible that both unc - 7 expression constructs might utilize the internal start site (M121) and similarly produce UNC - 7SR.

In research that has implications for diabetes and other metabolic diseases, an international study based at UT Southwestern Medical Center found that the protein connexin 43 (Cx43) forms cell - to - cell communication channels on the surface of emerging beige fat cells that amplify the signals from those few nerve fibers.
