Abstract
Gap junctions are membrane channels that directly connect the cytoplasm of neighboring cells, allowing the exchange of ions and small molecules. Two analogous families of proteins, the connexins and innexins are the channel-forming molecular vertebrates and invertebrates, respectively. Here, we present the molecular cloning and sequences analysis of novel innexiins, Binx2, expressed during Bombyx mori embryonic development. (omitted)
