| Full name | | gap junction protein, alpha 4, 37kDa |
| Aliases | | ,CX37, |
| Gene summary | | This gene encodes a member of the connexin gene family. The encoded protein is a component of gap junctions, which are composed of arrays of intercellular channels that provide a route for the diffusion of low molecular weight materials from cell to cell. Mutations in this gene have been associated with atherosclerosis and a higher risk of myocardial infarction. [provided by RefSeq] |
