Cx46 hemichannels contribute to the sodium leak conductance in lens fiber cells

The lens is proposed to have an internal microcirculation system consisting of continuously circulating ionic fluxes that play an essential role in maintaining lens transparency. One of the key components of this system is the sodium leak conductance. Here we investigate the contribution of Cx46 hem...
