Cx43 threshold model for joint initiation. Cx43 activity levels decrease to a threshold level, allowing for evx1 expression and, therefore, joint initiation. In the sof b123 mutant, where cx43 mRNA levels are reduced with respect to WT, the threshold is reached sooner, inducing premature joint initiation and resulting in short segments.
