Gja4 - gap junction protein, alpha 4 Gene

Also Known as CXN37; Cxnh1

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 25655

Summary

Predicted to enable gap junction channel activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium ion transport; endothelium development; and response to pain. Located in gap junction. Part of connexin complex. Biomarker of ureteral obstruction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human GJA4 (Gap Junction Protein alpha 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
