Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including alpha-tubulin binding activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and gap junction channel activity. Predicted to be involved in cell communication by electrical coupling; cell-cell signaling; and heart development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including gap junction; intercalated disc; and tight junction. Predicted to be part of connexin complex. Is expressed in embryo. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including bone disease (multiple); erythrokeratodermia variabilis (multiple); hypoplastic left heart syndrome; oculodentodigital dysplasia; and palmoplantar keratoderma and congenital alopecia 1. Orthologous to several human genes including GJA1 (gap junction protein alpha 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

findings demonstrate that the interaction of Cx33 with Cx43 within a same heteromeric complex may conduce to channel instability through alteration of the phosphorylation status of Cx43 independently of the control of the c-Src kinase

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
