GJA4 - gap junction protein alpha 4 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as CX37

Gene ID: 2701 | Gene type: protein coding

About GJA4

Cytogenetic location: 1p34.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:34,792,999-34,795,747 (from NCBI)

This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 183 orthologues and 20 paralogues. Broad expression in placenta (RPKM 24.9), fat (RPKM 18.0) and 17 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes 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. Mutations in this gene have been associated with atherosclerosis and a higher risk of myocardial infarction. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
