Description
Product Characteristics:
One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm
Synonyms: CX45, GJA7, Gap junction gamma-1 protein, Connexin-45, Gap junction alpha-7 protein, GJC1
Target Information: This 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
