Zwart–Storm EAD et al. – Gap junctions are small membrane pores that facilitate rapid intercellular communication in all vertebrate cells, and are composed of connexins. In humans, 21 different connexin genes are expressed. Each tissue has its own expression pattern. Gap junctions are particularly prominent in the skin and mutations in skin–expressed connexins cause a broad spectrum of ectodermal dysplasias.
