Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 349149
Gene name Gap junction protein gamma 3
Gene symbol GJC3
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CX29CX30.2CX31.3GJE1
Chromosome 7
Chromosome location 7q22.1
Summary This gene encodes a gap junction protein. The encoded protein, also known as a connexin, plays a role in formation of gap junctions, which provide direct connections between neighboring cells. Mutations in this gene have been reported to be associated wit
