Abstract:
Gap junction, a special membrane structure communicating many kinds of cells, is composed of connexin.Changes of connexin levels and distribution can lead to changes of conduction velocity of electric couple and increase of reentrant arrhythmia, finally to atrial fibrillation. This article elucidates the relationship between cardiac gap junction protein connexin and atrial fibrillation.
