GJB7

Also known as CX25, bA136M9.1, connexin25, gap junction protein beta 7

Gap junction beta-7 protein (GJB7), also known as connexin-25 (Cx25), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GJB7 gene.

Gene data

GJB7

Name: gap junction protein beta 7
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: CX25, bA136M9.1, connexin25

Connexins, such as GJB7, 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 subunits (Sohl et al., 2003 [PubMed 12881038]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008].
