GJD3 gap junction protein delta 3

Gene ID: 125111, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GJC1; GJA11; CX31.9; Cx30.2

Summary

This gene is a member of the large family of connexins that are required for the formation of gap junctions. Six connexin monomers form a hemichannel, or connexon, on the cell surface. This connexon can interact with a connexon from a neighboring cell, thus forming a channel linking the cytoplasm of the 2 cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
