Connexin 43 (Cx43) belongs to a gap junction protein family. Connexins assemble as a hexamer and are transported to the plasma membrane to create a hemichannel that can associate with hemichannels on nearby cells to create cell-to-cell channels. Gap junction communication is important in development and regulation of cell growth. Here we checked the time course effect of chemoattractant on Connexin 43 expression.
