Gene name

GJD2 (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

CX36, GJA9

Description

Gap junction protein, delta 2, 36kDa (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a member of the connexin protein family. Connexins are gap junction proteins which are arranged in groups of 6 around a central pore to form a connexon, a component of the gap junction intercellular channel. The channels formed by this protein allow cationic molecule exchange between human beta cells and may function in the regulation of insulin secretion. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2012]
