MeSH Heading: Connexin 26
Tree Number(s): D12.776.543.585.250.100
Unique ID: D000072259
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D000072259
Scope Note: A gap junction protein encoded by the Gap Junction Beta 2 or GJB2 gene. In the cochlea and epidermis, its hexamers form channels between cells that open to allow cell-to-cell diffusion of small molecules as well as recycling of potassium. Mutations in Connexin 26 are associated with congenital SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS.
Entry Term(s): Connexin Cx26; Connexin beta-2; Gap Junction beta-2 protein; beta2 Connexin
