Gene: GJC1

Alternate names for this Gene: CX45|GJA7

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the connexin gene family. The encoded protein is a component of gap junctions, which are composed of arrays of intercellular channels that provide a route for the diffusion of low molecular weight materials from cell to cell. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been described.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 17

Location in Chromosome : 17q21.31

Description of this Gene: gap junction protein gamma 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
