gap junction channel activity

Term Information

Accession
GO:0005243
Name
gap junction channel activity
Ontology
molecular_function
Synonyms
innexin channel activity, connexin, innexin, intercellular channel
Alternate IDs
GO:0015285, GO:0015286
Definition
A wide pore channel activity that enables a direct cytoplasmic connection from one cell to an adjacent cell. The gap junction can pass large solutes as well as electrical signals between cells. Gap junctions consist of two gap junction hemi-channels, or connexons, one contributed by each membrane through which the gap junction passes. Source: GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729, GOC:dgh
