Gjb6

Predicted to enable cytoskeletal protein binding activity and gap junction channel activity involved in cell communication by electrical coupling. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; response to electrical stimulus; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in apical plasma membrane and gap junction. Biomarker of borna disease; status epilepticus; transient cerebral ischemia; and ureteral obstruction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Clouston syndrome; autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 3B; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 1A; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 1B; and ectodermal dysplasia. Orthologous to human GJB6 (gap junction protein beta 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 rat Gjb6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
