Abstract
Gap junctions are ubiquitous in the animal kingdom from mesozoa to vertebrates. They must be discriminated from desmosomes which anchor cells together to form structural or functional units as well as from tight junctions which seal membranes of epithelial cells to each other so that the paracellular path becomes impermeable to molecules and a polarity of apical and basolateral surface is maintained.
