Table 1.

Statistical amounts of hemichannels and gap junction channels in the case of 2 co-expressed connexins

Double co-expression of Connexins
Hemichannels Gap junction channels
2 homomeric
12 heteromeric
2 homomeric-homotypic
1 homomeric-heterotypic
24 heteromeric-homotypic
168 heteromeric-heterotypic
Total 14 195

These amounts consider that each association is possible independently on the connexin composition of hemichannels, and are indicated without considering that each channel can be in 2 different orientations
