Protein Coding Gene : Gja4 gap junction protein, alpha 4

Primary Identifier  MGI:95715 Organism  mouse, laboratory
Chromosome  4 NCBI Gene Number  14612
Mgi Type  protein coding gene
description  FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)

Predicted to enable gap junction channel activity. Acts upstream of or within blood vessel development. Predicted to be located in gap junction. Predicted to be part of connexin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gonad; heart; intestine; and vascular system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human GJA4 (gap junction protein alpha 4).
PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mutant females are sterile and oocyte development arrests prior to achieving meiotic competence. There is a lack of mature Graafian follicles, failure to ovulate, and formation of premature corpora lutea. [provided by MGI curators]
