GJD4

Gap junction delta-4 protein (GJD4), also known as connexin-40.1 (Cx40.1), is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the GJD4 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
is_associated_with::Connexins, such as GJD4, are involved in the formation of gap junctions, intercellular conduits that directly connect the cytoplasms of contacting cells. Each gap junction channel is formed by docking of 2 hemichannels, each of which contains 6 connexin subunits.
