Gap junction channels are intercellular channels that allow passage of ions, such as K(+) and Na(+), and other small molecules between neighboring cells. These channels are formed from two multimeric subunits called hemichannels, or connexons, that reside in plasma membranes of two closely ...

V-myc myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (c-Myc) is a multifunctional, nuclear phosphoprotein that plays a role in cell cycle progression, apoptosis and cellular transformation. c-Myc controls the transcription of a variety of different targets and regulates different processes, ...

RE1-silencing transcription factor (NRSF) is a member of the Kruppel-type zinc finger transcription factor family. It is a transcriptional repressor of neuronal genes in non-neuronal tissues. It represses transcription by binding a DNA sequence element called the neuron-restrictive silencer ...
