Docking of connexons into junctional, double-membrane spanning channels
Docking of Cx43 at the plasma membrane may involve ZO-1 as well as alpha- and beta-catenin (Shaw et al., 2007). The role of ZO-1 in regulating gap junction biology is unclear. Recent results indicate a role for ZO-1 in regulating gap junction plaque size (Hunter et al., 2007).
