One mechanism of transport of connexon-containing vesicles involves movement along microtubules (Segretain and Falk, 2004). Such a transport system has been described for similar secretory vesicles (Toomre et al., 1999). Direct microtubule-dependent transport of connexons to GJ-assembly sites has recently been reported as well (Shaw et al., 2007).
