GJB7

Gap junction beta-7 protein (GJB7), also known as connexin-25 (Cx25), is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the GJB7 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
is_associated_with::Connexins, such as GJB7, 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.
