Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit ยท refresh) I assume that "mid-importance" is about right. I have a couple comments though as well as some suggestions as to where this article should go. Firstly, I feel that wikipedians would benifit from a PDB derived image of a connexin (maybe connexin 43), as well as some information about where it is found on the genome, its mass, etc. Also, lets try to find most of the known functions of the various connexin molecules and add function not yet known. to those that are unknown at the time (Careful of OR though :) All for now I guess -- JE.at.UWOU|T 23:16, 15 November 2006 (UTC) |

[edit] Minor comments after a first read
Excellent! Thanks for working on this. I've only read it once through, but here's what I noticed:
- I'd love to see a larger image for the graphic in the structure section, but when I try to access it ... I don't get it. I'm not wise enough yet to know how to fix this, so I'll let you do it!
- When reading I removed and added some commas plus other edit things ... hope you don't mind. If I need to read style pages, let me know.
- I'm confused about this in the nomenclature section: "e.g. Cx26 is the connexin protein of 26 KAMU." A link is provided for the AMU portion of KAMU only. But what is KAMU? (Camus? Ha!) I wonder what the style pages say about e.g. vs. i.e. I'm semi-indoctrinated in APA format. Anyway, maybe a citation would help this section and/or me.
- IMO, we need a reference for this from the Biosynthesis and Internalization section: "It has been suggested that this short life span allows for more finely regulated physiological processes to take place, such as in the myometrium."
- Is there a UR-Golgi intermediate compartment??? Or is this equivalent to the ERGIC in the next bit, which then would beg to be ER-GIC?
- Another bit for your more clever self: A redirect? for "innexins" in the first paragraph, so it doesn't show in red. "Innexin" is nicely set up much later in the function section.
- At a glance, references #2 and #3 look identical to me ...
