Homotypic Gap Junctions

Homotypic Gap Junction is a type of gap junction channel formed by the docking of two identical connexons, each composed of the same connexin protein subunits, derived from the same cell type, thereby enabling direct intercellular communication between cells of identical phenotypic identity.
