Annulated gap junctions in the rat neural tube.
Annulated gap junctions have been studied electron microscopically in normal rat embryo neural tube on day 12 of gestation. Localization, size and content of annulated gap junctions were characterized. Like in other tissues annulated gap junctions are thought to be involved in a degradation cycle of gap junctions.
