Product Specifications

Background

Gap junction alpha-3 protein, also known as Connexin-46, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GJA3 gene. This gene is mapped to 13q12.11. The protein encoded by this gene is a connexin and is a component of lens fiber gap junctions. One 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. Defects in this gene are a cause of zonular pulverulent cataract type 3 (CZP3) .
