GO:0016264 gap junction assembly

Assembly of gap junctions, which are found in most animal tissues, and serve as direct connections between the cytoplasms of adjacent cells. They provide open channels through the plasma membrane, allowing ions and small molecules (less than approximately a thousand daltons) to diffuse freely between neighboring cells, but preventing the passage of proteins and nucleic acids.

Ancestor Chart

Visual display of a section of the GO directed acyclic graph (DAG) for a single GO term. Terms in the GO are linked to parent (more general) terms and often to child (more specific) terms by one or more 'relationships'

All GO terms displayed in this graph can be clicked to display term definitions and child (descendent) terms.

Co-occurrence statistics

This display shows those GO terms which have been annotated to the same proteins as this term.
Terms may have been co-annotated either by electronic (IEA) or manual annotation methods. Users can decide which evidence code type should be used in the calculation of the co-occurence statistics.
