Gap junction proteins are members of a large family of homologous connexins and comprise 4 transmembrane, 2 extracellular, and 3 cytoplasmic domains. This gene plays a key role in central myelination and is involved in peripheral myelination in humans. Defects in this gene are the cause of autosomal recessive Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease-1. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **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. May play a role in myelination in central and peripheral nervous systems. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15192806}. |Connexin CCC| |Connexin| |gap junction channel activity involved in cell communication by electrical coupling| |positive regulation of oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation| |proximal neuron projection| |regulation of oligodendrocyte progenitor proliferation| |paranode region of axon| |gap junction| |cell communication by electrical coupling| |connexin complex| |myelin sheath| |positive regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation| |positive regulation of gliogenesis| |positive regulation of calcium ion transmembrane transport| |regulation of neural precursor cell proliferation| |negative regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle| |negative regulation of cell cycle G1/S phase transition| |regulation of gliogenesis| |positive regulation of calcium ion transport| |perikaryon| |positive regulation of cation transmembrane transport| |regulation of calcium ion transmembrane transport| |regulation of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle| |positive regulation of ion transmembrane transport| |regulation of cell cycle G1/S phase transition| |positive regulation of transmembrane transport| |negative regulation of mitotic cell cycle phase transition| |negative regulation of cell cycle phase transition| |regulation of calcium ion transport| |positive regulation of ion transport| |negative regulation of mitotic cell cycle| |negative regulation of cell cycle process| |regulation of cation transmembrane transport| |regulation of metal ion transport| |regulation of mitotic cell cycle phase transition| |regulation of cell cycle phase transition| |positive regulation of neurogenesis| |regulation of ion transmembrane transport| |response to toxic substance| |positive regulation of nervous system development| |positive regulation of cell development| |regulation of transmembrane transport| |negative regulation of cell cycle| |regulation of mitotic cell cycle| |regulation of ion transport| |brain development| |regulation of cell cycle process| |head development| |regulation of neurogenesis| |positive regulation of cell population proliferation| |regulation of nervous system development| |regulation of cell development| |positive regulation of cell differentiation| |central nervous system development| |positive regulation of transport| |cell-cell signaling| |regulation of cell cycle| |transmembrane transport| |positive regulation of developmental process| |regulation of protein phosphorylation| |generation of neurons| |regulation of phosphorylation| |regulation of cell population proliferation| |neurogenesis| |positive regulation of multicellular organismal process| |regulation of phosphate metabolic process| |regulation of phosphorus metabolic process| |regulation of cell differentiation| |regulation of protein modification process| |regulation of transport| |positive regulation of gene expression| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
