The encoded protein, also known as a connexin, plays a role in formation of gap junctions, which provide direct connections between neighboring cells. Mutations in this gene have been reported to be associated with nonsyndromic hearing loss.[provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010] Expression Broad expression in prostate (RPKM 2.6), pancreas (RPKM 1.5) and 14 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
