GJC3

Gap junction gamma-3, also known as connexin-29 (Cx29) or gap junction epsilon-1 (GJE1), is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the GJC3 is_associated_with::gene.

GJC3 is a is_associated_with::conexin.

Function
This gene encodes a is_associated_with::gap junction protein. The encoded protein, also known as a is_associated_with::connexin, plays a role in formation of gap junctions, which provide direct connections between neighboring cells.

Clinical significance
Mutations in this gene have been reported to be associated with nonsyndromic hearing loss.
