What defines a gap junction?
-
Allows the least amount of passage
-
Made up of CAMs and proteoglycans
-
Form a channel by joining membrane and channel proteins
-
None of the above
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
A gap junction is defined by its ability to form a channel by joining membrane and channel proteins. This allows for the direct exchange of ions and small molecules between adjacent cells, facilitating communication and coordination between cells. The other options, allowing the least amount of passage and being made up of CAMs and proteoglycans, do not accurately describe the defining characteristic of a gap junction.
