However, little is known about the role of this protein in the functioning of
insulin-secreting cells. To address this question, we searched for a cell ... Cited by 59 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 4 versions
S Le Gurun, D Martin, A Formenton, P … - Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2003 - ASBMB Connexin-36 (Cx36) is a gap junction protein expressed by the insulin-producing
β-cells. We investigated the contribution of this protein in normal β-cell
function by using a viral gene transfer approach to alter Cx36 content in ... Cited by 41 - Related articles - BL Direct - All 5 versions
