| Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 14617 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable gap junction channel activity. Acts upstream of or within chemical synaptic transmission; neuronal action potential; and visual perception. Predicted to be located in gap junction. Predicted to be part of connexin complex. Is expressed in extraembryonic component; eye; future brain; and nervous system. Orthologous to human GJD2 (gap junction protein delta 2). PHENOTYPE: Nullizygous mutations can cause loss of electrical synapses, impaired synchronous activity of inhibitory networks, altered spike synchrony in OB glomeruli, absent coupling of alpha-ganglion cells in retina, and abnormal cued conditioning, nerve fiber andsingle cell responses, and insulin secretion.
