Gene information for GJA5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2702
Official gene symbolGJA5
Full namegap junction protein, alpha 5, 40kDa
Aliases,CX40,MGC11185,
Gene summaryThis 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. Mutations in this gene may be associated with atrial fibrillation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
