Scope and Contents

Contents

Connexin46 (Cx46), together with Cx50, forms gap junction channels between lens fibers and participates in the lens pump-leak system, which is essential for the homeostasis of this avascular organ. Mutations in Cx50 and Cx46 correlate with cataracts, but the functional relationship between the mutations and cataract formation is not always clear. R...
