Gene information for GJA9 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID81025
Official gene symbolGJA9
Full namegap junction protein, alpha 9, 59kDa
Aliases,CX58,CX59,GJA10,MGC50985,
Gene summaryConnexins, such as GJA9, 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]
