Gap 27 is a peptide that has been studied for its potential role in modulating gap junction communication between cells. It is particularly investigated in the context of cardiovascular research, where it may help in understanding and managing conditions related to abnormal cell signaling. The peptide is also explored for its effects on cellular processes in wound healing and tissue repair, as it can influence the way cells interact and communicate. Additionally, Gap 27 has been used in experimental studies to examine its impact on inflammatory responses and its potential therapeutic applications in diseases where inflammation plays a key role. Its ability to interfere with specific connexin channels makes it a valuable tool in research focused on cellular communication pathways.
