- Description
- Exhibits gap junction channel activity. Predicted to be involved in cell-cell signaling and heart development. Localizes to gap junction and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital heart disease (multiple); erythrokeratodermia variabilis (multiple); oculodentodigital dysplasia; palmoplantar keratoderma and congenital alopecia 1; and palmoplantar keratosis. Orthologous to human GJA1 (gap junction protein alpha 1).
