GJA3 - gap junction protein alpha 3 Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as CX46; CZP3; CTRCT14

Gene ID: 2700 | Gene type: protein coding

About GJA3

Cytogenetic location: 13q12.11 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 13:20,138,255-20,161,565 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 237 orthologues, 20 paralogues and is associated with 6 phenotypes. Biased expression in heart (RPKM 3.2), placenta (RPKM 1.8) and 3 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a connexin and is a component of lens fiber gap junctions. Defects in this gene are a cause of zonular pulverulent cataract type 3 (CZP3). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
