Mm which are coupled to each other by so-called"gap junctions.
Gap junctions are channel forming cell-cell junctions which mediate direct cell-cell communication.
The synaptic cleft is wider than in the gap junctions and measures approx. 20-40 nm.
Individual osteocytes remain connected by long cellular processes,forming a network connected by gap junctions.
The atrioventricular node also has fewer gap junctions and utilizes slow calcium channels in its depolarization process.
The high expression density of connexin 43 indicates the formation of gap junctions between keratocytes.
When cells cease to communicate via"gap junctions"(GJs), stem cell characteristics and autonomous behavior are created.
They are branched andconnected by desmosomes for strength as well as by gap junctions for transmission of excitation.
Gap junctions are tunnels which allow impulses to be transmitted between them, so that depolarization can spread, causing the myocytes to contract together in unison.
Cardiomyocytes are structurally connected by intercalated discs which have gap junctions for diffusion and communication.
Formations of gap junctions were analyzed with a rabbit polyclonal antibody to connexin 26(Cx26) and a mouse monoclonal antibody against connexin 43 Cx43.
These are densely stained ends of thecell that are heavily populated by desmosomes, gap junctions and fascia adherens.

 Smooth muscle cells are responsible for involuntary contractions andthey also contain gap junctions for a the spread of depolarization.
Lycopene can improve the operation of“gap junctions,” unique channels that connect one cell to the next to facilitate communication and the passing of molecules and ions between cells.
The scientists were able to show that toxins produced by bacteria trigger structural changes in intercellular gap junctions, small channels that connect neighbouring cells.
In the electrical transmission mediated by gap junctions, the plasma membranes of adjacent neurons are separated by a gap of about two nanometers(two-billionths of a meter), but contain small channels(the gap junctions) that connect the cytoplasm of the adjoining neurons, permitting the diffusion of small molecules and the flow of electric current.
In the skin, intracellular cell-to-cell communication(CCC) takes place via cell-cell canals(gap junctions), which is important for various cellular functions such as the regulation of growth.
In general, the exchange of information between the billions of neurons that make up the neuronal forest takes place through two types of highly specialized structures: chemical synapses(the majority)and so-called gap junctions a substrate of one class of electrical synapse.
This might open mechanosensitive ion channels,leading to a signal that may be relayed through gap junctions to sites near active bone construction units basic multicellular units.
WG Brandner: Influence of tight junction and gap junction proteins on wound healing.
One gap junction channel is composed of two connexons(or hemichannels), which connect across the intercellular space.
