Astrocytic gap junction protein and cerebral ischemia / 国际脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Studies have shown that gap junction (GJ) of astrocytes plays an important role in ischemic brain injury.Therefore,GJ may become a new target for the treatment of ischemic brain injury.In recent years,although the relationship between GJ of astrocytes and ischemic brain injury has been extensively studied,the conclusions are not consistent.This article reviews the structure,distribution,function of GJ,and its research progress related ischemic brain injury.
