Gja6 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including alpha-tubulin binding activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and gap junction channel activity. Predicted to be involved in cell communication by electrical coupling; cell-cell signaling; and heart development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including gap junction; intercalated disc; and tight junction. Predicted to be part of connexin complex. Is expressed in embryo. Orthologous to human GJA6P (gap junction protein alpha 6, pseudogene). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Gja6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
