Biological function summary
This protein facilitates electrical and chemical coupling between cells by forming intercellular channels. These channels arise from the assembly of six Connexin 43 subunits into hemichannels which dock with hemichannels on neighboring cells. This protein has a critical component in the cardiac and neural tissues where rapid communication is essential for proper function. Connexin 43 engages in complex assemblies with other connexins enhancing its role in synchronizing cell activities.
Pathways
Connexin 43 significantly influences signal transduction processes. It acts within the MAPK signaling pathway which impacts cellular responses such as growth and differentiation. Additionally this protein plays a role in calcium signaling a pathway important for muscle contraction and neurotransmitter release. Interacting proteins like Connexin 30 and Connexin 45 further regulate these pathways affecting the amplitude and duration of signaling.
