Vectors for Human GJA8

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol GJA8
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name gap junction protein alpha 8
  • Other Aliases CAE; CAE1; CTRCT1; CX50; CZP1; MP70
  • Other Desigations gap junction alpha-8 protein; cell surface glycoprotein; connexin 50; gap junction alpha 8; gap junction membrane channel protein alpha-8; gap junction protein alpha 8 50kDa; lens fiber protein MP70; lens intrinsic membrane protein MP70
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    This gene encodes a transmembrane connexin protein that is necessary for lens growth and maturation of lens fiber cells. The encoded protein is a component of gap junction channels and functions in a calcium and pH-dependent manner. Mutations in this gene have been associated with zonular pulverulent cataracts, nuclear progressive cataracts, and cataract-microcornea syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]
