Gene: Gja4 (gap junction protein, alpha 4) Rattus norvegicus
Analyze
Symbol: Gja4
Name: gap junction protein, alpha 4
RGD ID: 2691
Description: Predicted to enable gap junction channel activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium ion transport; endothelium development; and response to pain. Located in gap junction. Part of connexin complex. Biomarker of ureteral obstruction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human GJA4 (gap junction protein alpha 4); PARTICIPATES IN connexin signaling pathway; INTERACTS WITH (S)-nicotine; 1,2,4-trimethylbenzene; 1-naphthyl isothiocyanate.
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: PROVISIONAL
Previously known as: connexin h1; connexin-37; cx37; CXN37; Cxnh1; gap junction alpha-4 protein; gap junction membrane channel protein alpha 4; Gap junction membrane channel protein alpha 4 (connexin 37); Gap junction membrane channel, protein alpha 4 (connexin 37)
