Gene information for GJA4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2701
Official gene symbolGJA4
Full namegap junction protein, alpha 4, 37kDa
Aliases,CX37,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes 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. Mutations in this gene have been associated with atherosclerosis and a higher risk of myocardial infarction. [provided by RefSeq]
