Other Information

**Key characteristics** * GJB5 is a transmembrane protein with a molecular weight of approximately 180 kDa. * It is expressed in high levels in epithelial cells, where it is involved in cell-cell communication and tissue integrity. * GJB5 is a key component of the gap junction complex, which is responsible for the assembly and maintenance of gap junctions. * It is also involved in the trafficking of proteins between cells. **Pathways and functions** * GJB5 is involved in cell-cell signaling, as it is a component of the gap junction complex. * It is also involved in the regulation of epithelial cell migration and differentiation. * It is involved in the development of the epidermis and the epididymis. * It is also involved in the maintenance of the blood-brain barrier. **Clinical significance** GJB5 is a promising target for cancer immunotherapy. Mutations in the GJB5 gene have been linked to the development of several types of cancer, including lung cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer. Inhibition of GJB5 has been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth and migration, suggesting that it could be a potential therapeutic agent for cancer treatment.
