Target

Gap junction protein that acts as a regulator of bladder capacity. A 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. Negative regulator of bladder functional capacity: acts by enhancing intercellular electrical and chemical transmission, thus sensitizing bladder muscles to cholinergic neural stimuli and causing them to contract (By similarity) . May play a role in cell growth inhibition through the regulation of NOV expression and localization (PubMed:15181016) . Plays an essential role in gap junction communication in the ventricles (By similarity) .
