Abstract
⺠Heterotypic gap junction channels exhibit voltage gating and cell-to-cell signal transfer asymmetries. ⺠Transjunctional flux of fluorescent dyes was studied by combining dual whole-cell patch clamp and fluorescent imaging. ⺠Intercellular transfer of charged dyes is modulated by transjunctional voltage. ⺠Voltage-gating and ionophoresis can act on cell-cell metabolic communication in a synergistic or antagonistic manner.
