GJD4 (gap junction protein delta 4)

Gene

• Entrez ID: 219770
• Gene name: Gap junction protein delta 4
• Gene symbol: GJD4
• Synonyms (NCBI Gene): CX40.1
• Chromosome: 10
• Chromosome location: 10p11.21
• Summary: Connexins, such as GJD4, are involved in the formation of gap junctions, intercellular conduits that directly connect the cytoplasms of contacting cells. Each gap junction channel is formed by docking of 2 hemichannels, each of which contains 6 connexin s
