Connexin 50 Functions as an Adhesive Molecule and Promotes Lens Cell Differentiation
Abstract Connexins play essential roles in lens homeostasis and development. Here, we identified a new role for Cx50 that mediates cell-cell adhesion function. Cx50 enhanced the adhesive capability of AQP0. Interestingly, the expression of Cx50 alone promoted cell adhesion at a comparable level to A...
