Phosphorylation of Connexin 43 by Cdk5 Modulates Neuronal Migration During Embryonic Brain Development
The gap junction protein, connexin 43 (Cx43), is only present and abundantly expressed in astrocytes but is absent in neurons in the mature brain tissues. However, both the expression and function of Cx43 in n...
