Abstract
⺠Connexins and gap junctions are obligatory features of endocrine cells. ⺠Connexins contribute to control endocrine secretions. ⺠Connexins may also modulate the growth, differentiation and death of endocrine cells. ⺠The mechanisms involved are dependent on the cell-to-cell coupling. ⺠A pathophysiological role of connexins in endocrine diseases is suggested by correlative evidence.
