GJA1 is a member of the connexin gene family. The gap junction protein alpha 1 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. The encoded protein is the major protein of gap junctions in the heart that are thought to have a crucial role in the synchronized contraction of the heart and in embryonic development. A related intronless pseudogene has been mapped to chromosome 5. Mutations in this gene have been associated with oculodentodigital dysplasia, autosomal recessive craniometaphyseal dysplasia and heart malformations.蛋白别名为：GJA1; GJAL; Gap junction alpha-1 protein; Connexin-43; Cx43; Gap junction 43 kDa heart protein;基因ID为：2697；蛋白质ID:P17302
