Gap Junction alpha-5 Protein

4/2015	Connexins, renin cell displacement and hypertension.
3/2015	Inducible deletion of connexin 40 in adult mice causes hypertension and disrupts pressure control of renin secretion.
6/2011	The connexin 40 A96S mutation causes renin-dependent hypertension.
10/2010	Selective deletion of Connexin 40 in renin-producing cells impairs renal baroreceptor function and is associated with arterial hypertension.
8/2009	Replacement of connexin 40 by connexin 45 causes ectopic localization of renin-producing cells in the kidney but maintains in vivo control of renin gene expression.
