Function

FUNCTION: Gap junction protein that acts as a regulator of bladder capacity. A gap junction consists of a cluster of closely packed pairs of transmembrane channels, the connexons, through which materials of low MW diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell. May play a critical role in the physiology of hearing by participating in the recycling of potassium to the cochlear endolymph. Negative regulator of bladder functional capacity: acts by enhancing intercellular electrical and chemical transmission, thus sensitizing bladder muscles to cholinergic neural stimuli and causing them to contract (By similarity). May play a role in cell growth inhibition through the regulation of NOV expression and localization. Plays an essential role in gap junction communication in the ventricles (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P08050, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P23242}.;

Disease

DISEASE: Oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD) [MIM:164200]: A disease characterized by a typical facial appearance and variable involvement of the eyes, dentition, and fingers. Characteristic facial features include a narrow, pinched nose with hypoplastic alae nasi, prominent columella and thin anteverted nares together with a narrow nasal bridge, and prominent epicanthic folds giving the impression of hypertelorism. The teeth are usually small and carious. Typical eye findings include microphthalmia and microcornea. The characteristic digital malformation is complete syndactyly of the fourth and fifth fingers (syndactyly type III) but the third finger may be involved and associated camptodactyly is a common finding. Cardiac abnormalities are observed in rare instances. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12457340, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14729836, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15108203, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15637728, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16219735, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16222672, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16378922, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16709485, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16813608, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16816024, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17509830, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18161618, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19338053, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21670345, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23550541, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24508941, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28258662}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Oculodentodigital dysplasia, autosomal recessive (ODDD- AR) [MIM:257850]: A disease characterized by a typical facial appearance and variable involvement of the eyes, dentition, and fingers. Characteristic facial features include a narrow, pinched nose with hypoplastic alae nasi, prominent columella and thin anteverted nares together with a narrow nasal bridge, and prominent epicanthic folds giving the impression of hypertelorism. The teeth are usually small and carious. Typical eye findings include microphthalmia and microcornea. The characteristic digital malformation is complete syndactyly of the fourth and fifth fingers (syndactyly type III) but the third finger may be involved and associated camptodactyly is a common finding. Cardiac abnormalities are observed in rare instances. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16816024}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Syndactyly 3 (SDTY3) [MIM:186100]: A form of syndactyly, a congenital anomaly of the hand or foot marked by persistence of the webbing between adjacent digits that are more or less completely attached. In SDTY3, there is usually complete and bilateral syndactyly between the fourth and fifth fingers. Usually it is soft tissue syndactyly but occasionally the distal phalanges are fused. The fifth finger is short with absent or rudimentary middle phalanx. The feet are not affected. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14729836}. Note=The disease may be caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Hypoplastic left heart syndrome 1 (HLHS1) [MIM:241550]: A syndrome due to defective development of the aorta proximal to the entrance of the ductus arteriosus, and hypoplasia of the left ventricle and mitral valve. As a result of the abnormal circulation, the ductus arteriosus and foramen ovale are patent and the right atrium, right ventricle, and pulmonary artery are enlarged. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11470490}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Hallermann-Streiff syndrome (HSS) [MIM:234100]: A disorder characterized by a typical skull shape (brachycephaly with frontal bossing), hypotrichosis, microphthalmia, cataracts, beaked nose, micrognathia, skin atrophy, dental anomalies and proportionate short stature. Mental retardation is present in a minority of cases. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14974090}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Atrioventricular septal defect 3 (AVSD3) [MIM:600309]: A congenital heart malformation characterized by a common atrioventricular junction coexisting with deficient atrioventricular septation. The complete form involves underdevelopment of the lower part of the atrial septum and the upper part of the ventricular septum; the valve itself is also shared. A less severe form, known as ostium primum atrial septal defect, is characterized by separate atrioventricular valvar orifices despite a common junction. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11470490}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Craniometaphyseal dysplasia, autosomal recessive (CMDR) [MIM:218400]: An osteochondrodysplasia characterized by hyperostosis and sclerosis of the craniofacial bones associated with abnormal modeling of the metaphyses. Sclerosis of the skull may lead to asymmetry of the mandible, as well as to cranial nerve compression, that may finally result in hearing loss and facial palsy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23951358}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva 3 (EKVP3) [MIM:617525]: A form of erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva, a genodermatosis characterized by the coexistence of two independent skin lesions: transient erythema and hyperkeratosis that is usually localized but occasionally occurs in its generalized form. Clinical presentation varies significantly within a family and from one family to another. Palmoplantar keratoderma is present in around 50% of cases. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25398053}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.; DISEASE: Palmoplantar keratoderma and congenital alopecia 1 (PPKCA1) [MIM:104100]: A rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by severe hyperkeratosis of the palms and soles, and congenital hypotrichosis or alopecia. Dystrophic nail changes occur in some patients. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25168385}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.;
