Gene information for GJB7 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID375519
Official gene symbolGJB7
Full namegap junction protein, beta 7, 25kDa
Aliases,CX25,MGC71746,bA136M9.1,connexin25,
Gene summaryConnexins, such as GJB7, are involved in the formation of gap junctions, intercellular conduits that directly connect the cytoplasms of contacting cells. Each gap junction channel is formed by docking of 2 hemichannels, each of which contains 6 connexin subunits (Sohl et al., 2003 [PubMed 12881038]).[supplied by OMIM]
