Entrez gene ID2707
Official gene symbolGJB3
Full namegap junction protein, beta 3, 31kDa
Aliases,CX31,DFNA2,DFNA2B,EKV,FLJ22486,MGC102938,
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 can cause non-syndromic deafness or erythrokeratodermia variabilis, a skin disorder. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein.
