Defects in this gene are a cause of zonular pulverulent cataract type 3 (CZP3). [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: One gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell. |Connexin| |Connexin CCC| |gap junction-mediated intercellular transport| |gap junction hemi-channel activity| |intercellular transport| |connexin complex| |visual perception| |sensory perception of light stimulus| |sensory perception| |transmembrane transport| |nervous system process| |integral component of plasma membrane| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp51|Nifuroxazide 1μM R01 exp51]]|1.92| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
