Function

Structural component of the gap junction, a specialized intercellular structure consisting of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, that allow passage of small molecules and electrical signals between neighboring cells. Forms homotypic and heterotypic channels gated by transjunctional voltage. May play a critical role in the physiology of hearing by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph.

Biological Context

Subcellular Location: Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cell junction, gap junction; Endoplasmic reticulum; Cell junction

Protein Biology

Function

Structural component of the gap junction, a specialized intercellular structure consisting of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, that allow passage of small molecules and electrical signals between neighboring cells. Forms homotypic and heterotypic channels gated by transjunctional voltage (By similarity). May play a critical role in the physiology of hearing by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph (By similarity). Negative regulator of bladder functional capacity: acts by enhancing intercellular electrical and chemical transmission, thus sensitizing bladder muscles to cholinergic neural stimuli and causing them to contract. May play a role in the conductive system of ventricular myocardium and heart morphogenesis. May play a role in cell growth inhibition through the regulation of NOV expression and localization (By similarity). Involved in intercellular innate immune signaling. Mediates translocation of 2',3'-cGAMP and 2',5'-oligoadenylates (2-5A) second messengers from virus-infected cells to macrophages and uninfected neighboring cells to propagate and amplify the antiviral immune response (By similarity)

Subcellular Location

Cell membrane (Multi-pass membrane protein); Cell junction, gap junction; Endoplasmic reticulum; Cell junction

Subunit

A connexon/hemichannel is composed of a hexamer of connexins. Forms functional homotypic gap junctions consisting of identical hemichannels both made of the same connexin type as well as heterotypic gap junctions consisting of two different hemichannels, each containing a different type of connexin. Assembles with GJC1 to form heterotypic gap junction channels (By similarity). Interacts (via C-terminus) with TJP1 (By similarity). Interacts (via C-terminus) with SRC (via SH3 domain) (By similarity). Interacts (not ubiquitinated) with UBQLN4 (via UBA domain) (By similarity). Interacts with SGSM3 and CNST (By similarity). Interacts with RIC1/CIP150. Interacts with CSNK1D. Interacts with NOV (By similarity). Interacts with TMEM65 (By similarity). Interacts with ANK3/ANKG and PKP2 (By similarity)
