Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a gap junction protein. Gap junction proteins are members of a large family of homologous connexins and comprise 4 transmembrane, 2 extracellular, and 3 cytoplasmic domains. This gene plays a key role in central myelination and is involv

Protein name Gap junction gamma-2 protein (Connexin-46.6) (Cx46.6) (Connexin-47) (Cx47) (Gap junction alpha-12 protein)
Protein function 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. May play a role in myelination in central and peripheral nerv
