Gap junction communication influences intercellular protein distribution in the lens

Lens transparency and high refractive index presumably depend on the appropriate arrangement and distribution of lens proteins among lens fiber cells. Intercellular gap junction channels formed by α3 and α8 connexins are known to transport small molecules, ions and water, but not proteins, in the le...
