Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 2702
Gene name Gap junction protein alpha 5
Gene symbol GJA5
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ATFB11CX40
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q21.2
Summary 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. Muta
