{"symbol":"GJD4","synonyms":["CX40.1"],"name":"gap junction protein, delta 4, 40.1kDa","description":"Connexins, such as GJD4, are involved in the formation of gap junctions, intercellular conduits that directly connect the cytoplasms of contacting cells. Each gap junction channel is formed by docking of 2 hemichannels, each of which contains 6 connexin subunits (Sohl et al., 2003 [PubMed 12881038]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":219770,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/219770","proteins":[{"symbol":"CXD4_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/CXD4_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Ion channels","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Ion+channels"}]}
