Target Details for GJA8

Target: GJA8 (Gap Junction Protein, alpha 8, 50kDa (GJA8))

Alternative Name: GJA8 / Cx50

Background: GJA8 is a an integral membrane protein that belongs to the connexin family, alpha-type (group II) subfamily. One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell. A connexon is composed of a hexamer of connexins. This particular connexin only forms junctional channels. GJA8 is expressed in the eye lens, and defects in GJA8 are the cause of zonular pulverulent cataract type 1 (CZP1), a form of autosomal dominant congenital cataract.Synonyms: Connexin-50, Gap junction alpha-8 protein, Lens fiber protein MP70
