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: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: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]
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]
