Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Connexon proteins (gap junctions) are characteristic of electrical synapses, not chemical synapses. Chemical synapses involve the release of neurotransmitters from synaptic vesicles into a synaptic cleft, where they bind to receptor proteins on the postsynaptic cell. Connexons form channels that directly connect the cytoplasm of two cells at electrical synapses, allowing ions and small molecules to pass directly from one cell to another, which does not involve the synaptic vesicle release mechanism of chemical synapses.
