Target Details for Connexin 43/GJA1

Target: Connexin 43/GJA1 (GJA1) (Gap Junction Protein, alpha 1, 43kDa (GJA1))

Alternative Name: GJA1 / Cx43

Background: The connexins are a group of GAP junction proteins, which form a hexamer to compose a connexon. Clusters of connexons form a GAP junction through which low molecular weight proteins may diffuse from cell to cell. Several mammalian cells with malignant phenotypes exhibit decreased connexin expression and GAP junction communication. There is a decrease in GAP junctional communication in Src transformed cells. The decreased communication appears to be associated with tyrosine phosphorylation of connexin 43. Activated c-Src phosphorylates the C-terminal tail of connexin 43 on residue Tyr 265, resulting in a stable interaction between both proteins leading to inhibition of GAP junctional communication. In addition to tyrosine phosphorylation, connexin 43 has also been shown to be phosphorylated on serine in the absence of Src kinases and on both serine and tyrosine in cells expressing Src kinases such as pp60v-Src and/or c-Src.Synonyms: Connexin-43, GJAL, Gap junction 43 kDa heart protein, Gap junction alpha-1 protein
