UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: P29033 (P29033)
Gene Name:
GJB2
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Structural component of gap junctions (PubMed:16849369, PubMed:17551008, PubMed:19340074, PubMed:19384972, PubMed:21094651, PubMed:26753910). Gap junctions are dodecameric channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells. They are formed by the docking of two hexameric hemichannels, one from each cell membrane (PubMed:17551008, PubMed:19340074, PubMed:21094651, PubMed:26753910). Small molecules and ions diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell via the central pore (PubMed:16849369, PubMed:19384972, PubMed:21094651)
