| Tbio | Gap junction gamma-1 protein |
One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell.
This gene is 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. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

| 24788723 | Results found that the expression of Cx26 and Cx45 had no prognostic value but Cx43 was upregulated in tumour epithelia and membrane Cx43 expression was associated with short overall survival time. |

| 21424225 | Study shows that fusion of a V5/6-His tag (hexa moiety M r = 0.93 kDa) to the CT segment of Cx40, Cx43 and Cx45 does not prevent the cells from forming channels. |

| 20979653 | connexin genes Gjd2 coding for mCx36, Gjc1 coding for mCx45 and Gja10 coding for mCx57 in the mouse, a subset of 4 connexin genes, including the unique GJA9 (Cx59) and GJA10 (Cx62), could be detected at least as transcript isoforms in the human retina. |
