Аннотация
Коннексины — белки, образующие у позвоночных межклеточные щелевые контакты, способствующие передаче малых молекул между клетками. Коннексин-43 — основной представитель семейства коннексинов в человеческом организме. Его функции в клетке разнообразны, он обнаружен в самом большом количестве тканей и клеток по сравнению с другими представителями семейства коннексинов. Наиболее интенсивно изучается его роль в межклеточных взаимодействиях, а также особенности выполняемых функций в жизненно важных органах — в сердце и мозге. В связи с высокой распространенностью в разных тканях в данный момент существует большой массив разрозненных экспериментальных данных, которые сложно собрать в единую картину. Данная работа ставит своей целью обобщить литературные данные об особенностях распределения и функциях коннексина-43 в различных тканях и о дальнейших перспективах изучения этого белка.
