The paper investigates the functional organization of electrical synapses in zebrafish, revealing that Cx34.1 is obligatory while Cx34.7 is accessory, with roles defined by the postsynaptic scaffold, similar to chemical synapses.

This study identifies the C-terminal region of Cx36 as critical for its transport from the ER to the Golgi via interactions with COPII and Grasp55.
