Gjb3 - gap junction protein, beta 3

Predicted to enable gap junction channel activity. Acts upstream of or within placenta development. Located in cytoplasm and gap junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; integumental system; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Used to study erythrokeratodermia variabilis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 2B; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 1A; erythrokeratodermia variabilis; and erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva 1. Orthologous to human GJB3 (gap junction protein beta 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
