Gene:
gap junction protein, alpha 7, 45kDa (connexin 45)
Gene ID:
190126
Symbol:
GJA7
Species:
1000
Description:
GJA7 belongs to the connexin family of proteins, which form gap junction channels. The membrane-spanning and extracellular domains of all connexins are highly conserved, whereas the intracellular domains responsible for specific biophysical and regulatory properties are unique (Kanter et al., 1994).[supplied by OMIM]
