AmiGO 2: Term Details for "gap junction assembly" (GO:0016264)

Accession: GO:0016264
Name: gap junction assembly
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: Assembly of gap junctions, which are found in most animal tissues, and serve as direct connections between the cytoplasms of adjacent cells. They provide open channels through the plasma membrane, allowing ions and small molecules (less than approximately a thousand daltons) to diffuse freely between neighboring cells, but preventing the passage of proteins and nucleic acids.
