About This Section Entrez Gene summary for GJB2 : This gene encodes a member of the gap junction protein family. The gap junctions were first characterized by electron microscopy as regionally specialized structures on plasma membranes of contacting adherent cells. These structures were shown to consist of cell-to-cell channels that facilitate the transfer of ions and small molecules between cells. The gap junction proteins, also known as connexins, purified from fractions of enriched gap junctions from different tissues differ. According to sequence similarities at the nucleotide and amino acid levels, the gap junction proteins are divided into two categories, alpha and beta. Mutations in this gene are responsible for as much as 50% of pre-lingual, recessive deafness. (provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CXB2_HUMAN, P29033 Function : One 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 summary
for GJB2 : Gap channels (also known as gap junctions) are specalized cell-cell contacts between almost all eukaryoticcells that provide direct intracellular communication. Generally, gap channels allow the passive diffusionof molecules up to 1 kDa which includes nutrients, small metabolites (e.g. glucose), ions (K+, Ca2+) andsecond messengers (IP3, cAMP and cGMP). Gap channels allow electrical and biochemical coupling between cellsand in excitable tissues, such as neurons and the heart, enables the generation of synchronized and rapidresponses. Structurally, gap channels are composed of two hemichannels called 'connexons', which themselvesare formed from six connexin molecules. Homo- and heteromeric combinations are seen, which exhibit distinctpermeability, selectivity and functional properties. Pannexins are related to connexins and can also formgap junctions. However, their expression is limited to the brain. Furthermore, in nonchordate animals afamily of proteins called innexins form these channels. Gap channels are regulated throughpost-translational modifications of the C'-terminal cytoplasmic tail and phosphorylation modulates assemblyand their physiological properties. They are continuously synthesized and degraded, allowing tissues torapidly adapt to changing environmental conditions. Connexins play a key role in many physiologicalprocesses including cardiac and smooth muscle contraction, regulation of neuronal excitability, epithelialelectrolyte transport and keratinocyte differentiation. Mutations in connexin genes are associated withhuman diseases including sensorineural deafness, a variety of skin disorders, peripheral neuropathy andcardiovascular disease. Gene Wiki entry for GJB2

protein sequence )Recommended Name: Gap junction beta-2 protein Size : 226 amino acids; 26215 Da
Subunit : A connexon is composed of a hexamer of connexins. Interacts with CNST (By similarity)
Subcellular location : Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell junction, gap junction
Caution : The Thr-34 allele was originally thought to be a cause of autosomal dominant and recessive deafness (DFNA3 andDFNB1) (PubMed:9139825). However, Thr-34 effect on hearing is controversial. Some studies supports its pathogenic role (PubMed:17935238 and PubMed:16849369). Others provide evidence of the non-pathogenic nature of this variant (PubMed:9422505 and PubMed:14694360)

Defects in GJB2 are the cause of deafness autosomal recessive type 1A (DFNB1A) [MIM:220290]. DFNB1A is a form of sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information Defects in GJB2 are the cause of deafness autosomal dominant type 3A (DFNA3A) [MIM:601544] Defects in GJB2 are a cause of Vohwinkel syndrome (VS) [MIM:124500]. VS is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by hyperkeratosis, constriction on finger and toes and congenital deafness Defects in GJB2 are a cause of palmoplantar keratoderma with deafness (PPKDFN) [MIM:148350]. PPKDFN is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the association of palmoplantar hyperkeratosis with progressive, bilateral, high-frequency, sensorineural deafness Defects in GJB2 are a cause of keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome (KID syndrome) [MIM:148210]; an autosomal dominant form of ectodermal dysplasia. Ectodermal dysplasias (EDs) constitute a heterogeneous group of developmental disorders affecting tissues of ectodermal origin. EDs are characterized by abnormal development of two or more ectodermal structures such as hair, teeth, nails and sweat glands, with or without any additional clinical sign. Each combination of clinical features represents a different type of ectodermal dysplasia. KID syndrome is characterized by the association of hyperkeratotic skin lesions with vascularizing keratitis and profound sensorineural hearing loss. Clinical features include deafness, ichthyosis, photobia, absent or decreased eyebrows, sparse or absent scalp hair, decreased sweating and dysplastic finger and toenails Defects in GJB2 are the cause of Bart-Pumphrey syndrome (BPS) [MIM:149200]. BPS is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by sensorineural hearing loss, palmoplantar keratoderma, knuckle pads, and leukonychia, It shows considerable phenotypic variability Defects in GJB2 are the cause of ichthyosis hystrix-like with deafness syndrome (HID syndrome) [MIM:602540]. HID syndrome is an autosomal-dominant inherited keratinizing disorder characterized by sensorineural deafness and spiky hyperkeratosis affecting the entire skin. HID syndrome is considered to differ from the similar KID syndrome in the extent and time of occurrence of skin symptoms and the severity of the associated keratitis 20/90 diseases for GJB2 (see all 90 ): About MalaCards enlarged vestibular aqueduct peripheral neuropathy bart-pumphrey syndrome dfna 3 nonsyndromic hearing loss and deafness hystrix-like ichthyosis with deafness dfnb 1 nonsyndromic hearing loss and deafness nonsyndromic hearing loss and deafness keratoderma palmoplantar deafness keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome charcot-marie-tooth disease erythrokeratodermia variabilis dandy-walker malformation hearing loss deafness, autosomal dominant 3a deafness, autosomal recessive 1a neuropathy focal palmoplantar keratoderma keratoderma ectodermal dysplasia vohwinkel syndrome 9 diseases from the University of Copenhagen DISEASES database for GJB2 :Nonsyndromic deafness Sensorineural hearing loss Enlarged vestibular aqueduct Keratosis Bart-Pumphrey syndrome Clouston syndrome Keratitis Usher syndrome Erythrokeratodermia variabilis 10/62 Novoseek disease relationships for GJB2 gene (see all 62 ) About this table
