GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
GJA9 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
CX58, CX59, GJA10
Description
Gap junction protein, alpha 9, 59kDa (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Connexins, 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, Mar 2008]
