GJC2 - gap junction protein gamma 2 Gene
Also Known as Cx47; HLD2; GJA12; SPG44; CX46.6; LMPH1C; LMPHM3; PMLDAR
Species: Homo sapiens
About GJC2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 190 orthologues, 20 paralogues and is associated with 8 phenotypes. Broad expression in brain (RPKM 4.2), endometrium (RPKM 1.5) and 19 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a Gap Junction Protein. Gap junction proteins are members of a large family of homologous connexins and comprise 4 transmembrane, 2 extracellular, and 3 cytoplasmic domains. This gene plays a key role in central myelination and is involved in peripheral myelination in humans. Defects in this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease-1.
