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].
The fact that Connexin 30 knockout mice had a higher number of grafted cells than normal mice, and that some of the grafted cells
expressed CONNEXIN 30 is a very important finding when considering cell transplantation as a treatment for hereditary hearing loss caused by CONNEXIN deficiency.
However, the Connexin 30 knockout mice had more grafted cells than the normal mice, and some of the grafted cells were found to
express CONNEXIN 30.

From numerous studies in the Xenopus paired oocyte system and various cell culture systems, a reasonable assumption might be that if two cells
express the same
connexin or innexin and lie in close membrane apposition, gap junctions will probably be established between them; this assumption has not been investigated rigorously in vivo.
