Gene:
gap junction protein, beta 3, 31kDa (connexin 31)
Gene ID:
196527
Symbol:
GJB3
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a connexin, a subunit of gap junctions. Mutations in this gene can cause non-syndromic deafness or erythrokeratodermia variabilis, a skin disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.
