Applications	Gap19 is a short peptide that inhibits hemichannels specifically for connexin-43 (Cx43), a cardiac connexin involved with gap junction formation. Gap junctions facilitate the exchange of ions and metabolites between cytoplasm and extracellular milieu. Reagents that inhibit hemichannels may have cardioprotective properties.
