| GO:0005243 | gap junction channel activity | molecular_function | A wide pore channel activity that enables a direct cytoplasmic connection from one cell to an adjacent cell. The gap junction can pass large solutes as well as electrical signals between cells. Gap junctions consist of two gap junction hemi-channels, or connexons, one contributed by each membrane through which the gap junction passes. [GOC:dgh, GOC:mtg_transport, ISBN:0815340729] |
| GO:0005515 | protein binding | molecular_function | Binding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators] |
| GO:0042802 | identical protein binding | molecular_function | Binding to an identical protein or proteins. [GOC:jl] |
| GO:0002088 | lens development in camera-type eye | biological_process | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the lens over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The lens is a transparent structure in the eye through which light is focused onto the retina. An example of this process is found in Mus musculus. [GOC:dph, ISBN:0582064333] |
| GO:0032645 | regulation of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor production | biological_process | Any process that modulates the frequency, rate, or extent of granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor production. [GOC:mah] |
| GO:0055085 | transmembrane transport | biological_process | The process in which a solute is transported across a lipid bilayer, from one side of a membrane to the other. [GOC:dph, GOC:jid] |
| GO:1990349 | gap junction-mediated intercellular transport | biological_process | The movement of substances between cells via gap junctions. A gap junction is a fine cytoplasmic channel, found in animal cells, that connects the cytoplasm of one cell to that of an adjacent cell, allowing ions and other molecules to pass freely between the two cells.

| GO:0005886 | plasma membrane | cellular_component | The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. [ISBN:0716731363] |
| GO:0005922 | connexin complex | cellular_component | An assembly of six molecules of connexin, made in the Golgi apparatus and subsequently transported to the plasma membrane, where docking of two connexons on apposed plasma membranes across the extracellular space forms a gap junction. [PMID:11146276] |
| GO:0007267 | cell-cell signaling | biological_process | Any process that mediates the transfer of information from one cell to another. This process includes signal transduction in the receiving cell and, where applicable, release of a ligand and any processes that actively facilitate its transport and presentation to the receiving cell. Examples include signaling via soluble ligands, via cell adhesion molecules and via gap junctions. [GOC:dos, GOC:mah] |
