Gene: Gja8 (gap junction protein, alpha 8) Mus musculus
Analyze
Symbol: Gja8
Name: gap junction protein, alpha 8
RGD ID: 732564
MGI Page MGI
Description: Predicted to enable gap junction channel activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within lens development in camera-type eye. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; testis; and thyroid gland. Used to study cataract 1 multiple types. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract and cataract 1 multiple types. Orthologous to human GJA8 (gap junction protein alpha 8).
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: VALIDATED
Previously known as: Aey; Aey5; alpha 8 connexin; Cnx5; Cnx50; connexin 50; connexin l; connexin-50; Cx50; Cxnl; dcm; gap junction alpha-8 protein; gap junction membrane channel protein alpha 8; lens fiber protein MP70; lens opacity 10; Lo; Lop10
