Gjb3 - gap junction protein, beta 3

Predicted to enable gap junction channel activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to retinoic acid; skin development; and spermatogenesis. Located in gap junction. 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]
