1.A.24.1.15
Gap junction protein alpha 5, GJA5 or CxA5, of 358 aas and 4 TMSs. 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. GAJ5 is enriched for the function of ion transmembrane transport regulation and is a key atrial fibrillation (AF)-valvular heart disease (VHD) protein (Zhao et al. 2021).
