Description
Exhibits gap junction hemi-channel activity and voltage-gated channel activity. Involved in several processes, including Kupffer's vesicle development; embryonic organ development; and fin regeneration. Localizes to gap junction and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital heart disease (multiple); erythrokeratodermia variabilis (multiple); oculodentodigital dysplasia; palmoplantar keratoderma and congenital alopecia 1; and palmoplantar keratosis. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; digestive system; fin; immature eye; and nervous system. Orthologous to human GJA1 (gap junction protein alpha 1).
