Xia, C.-h., Cheung, D., DeRosa, A. M., Chang, B., Lo, W.-K., White, T. W. and Gong, X. (2006). Knock-in of α3 connexin prevents severe cataracts caused by an α8 point mutation. J. Cell Sci. 119, 2138-2144.

We apologise for an error that occurred in the heading of Table 2, which wrongly stated `heteromeric' instead of `homotypic' and `heterotypic' instead of `heteromeric'. This error appeared in both the print and the online versions of this article. The correct version is shown below.

Table 2.

Boltzmann parameters for α3 homotypic and α3/α8-G22R heteromeric channels

Oocyte injection Vj V0 Gjmin A
α3   +   81   0.26   0.03  
α3   –   –82   0.27   0.03  
α8-G22R + α3   +   52   0.17   0.05  
α8-G22R + α3   –   –50   0.13   0.05  
Oocyte injection Vj V0 Gjmin A

Gjmin represents the minimum conductance value, V0 indicates the transjunctional voltage value midway through the Gj decline, and A denotes the cooperativity constant, reflecting the number of charges moving through the transjunctional field. Signs + and - for Vj indicate transjunctional potential polarity
