Target Details for Connexin 43/GJA1

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

Alternative Name: CX43

Background: Cx43 is a component of gap junctions, which are composed of arrays of intercellular channels that provide a route for the diffusion of low molecular weight materials from cell to cell. This protein is the major protein of gap junctions in embryonic development and in the heart that are thought to have a crucial role in the synchronized contraction of the heart.
