GJB2

Gene
GJB2
Protein
Gap junction beta-2 protein
Organism
Bos taurus
Length
226 amino acids
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.
Similarity
Belongs to the connexin family.

Length

Function
Structural component of gap junctions. 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. Small molecules and ions diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell via the central pore.
Similarity
Belongs to the connexin family. Beta-type (group I) subfamily.
