Summary Summary of gene provided in NCBI Entrez Gene.
This gene encodes a member of the connexin protein family. Connexins are gap junction proteins which are arranged in groups of 6 around a central pore to form a connexon, a component of the gap junction intercellular channel. The channels formed by this p

Protein
UniProt ID Q9UKL4
Protein name Gap junction delta-2 protein (Connexin-36) (Cx36) (Gap junction alpha-9 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.
