The supramolecular architecture of junctional microdomains in native lens membranes

Gap junctions formed by connexons and thin junctions formed by lens-specific aquaporin 0 (AQP0) mediate the tight packing of fibre cells necessary for lens transparency. Gap junctions conduct water, ions and metabolites between cells, whereas junctional AQP0 seems to be involved in cell adhesion. Hi...
