Abstract:
As a kind of inherent membrane surface molecules of our human body,connexins are closely related to the cell growth,proliferation and differentiation,which are highly expressed in kidney.Many kidney diseases have a close relationship with connexins' altered expression and disordered function.This paper is dedicated to review the characteristics of connexins molecules,the expression and corresponding functions in the kidney tissues,as well as the possible regulation mechanisms in the kidney tissues in order to explore their applications and value in medical study.
