Gjc2 - gap junction protein, gamma 2 Gene

Also Known as Cx47; Cxno; Gja12; B230382L12Rik

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 118454

Summary

Enables gap junction channel activity. Acts upstream of or within cell-cell signaling and response to toxic substance. Located in gap junction and myelin sheath. Is expressed in brain; ovary; and spinal cord. Used to study hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 2. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary lymphedema IC; hereditary spastic paraplegia 44; hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 2; and lymphedema. Orthologous to human GJC2 (Gap Junction Protein gamma 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
