Abstract
Connexin (Cx) 43 is the predominant protein forming gap junctions and non-junctional hemichannels in ventricular myocardium. The Cx43 proteins are central to the cardioprotection afforded by ischaemic preconditioning (IP). The specific role of mitochondrial Cx43 in protection by IP is reviewed.Entities:
