About Gjb3

Summary

Predicted to enable gap junction channel activity. Acts upstream of or within placenta development. Located in cytoplasm and gap junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; integumental system; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Used to study erythrokeratodermia variabilis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 2B; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 1A; erythrokeratodermia variabilis; and erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva 1. Orthologous to human GJB3 (Gap Junction Protein beta 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
