Summary: Predicted to enable cytoskeletal protein binding activity and gap junction channel activity involved in cell communication by electrical coupling. Acts upstream of or within ear morphogenesis and sensory perception of sound. Located in gap junction. Is expressed in bladder; spiral ligament; urinary system; and urothelium of bladder. Used to study Clouston syndrome and autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 1A. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Clouston syndrome; autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 3B; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 1A; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 1B; and ectodermal dysplasia. Orthologous to human GJB6 (gap junction protein beta 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
