Summary
GJB4 (gap junction protein beta 4, HGNC:4286) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p34.3, encoding Gap junction beta-4 protein (Q9NTQ9). Structural component of gap junctions.
This gene encodes a transmembrane connexin protein that is a component of gap junctions. Mutations in this gene have been associated with erythrokeratodermia variabilis, progressive symmetric erythrokeratoderma and hearing impairment.

Alternative names: Connexin-30.3
All UniProt accessions (2): A0A654IBS8, Q9NTQ9
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Structural component of gap junctions. Gap junctions are dodecameric channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells. They are formed by the docking of two hexameric hemichannels, one from each cell membrane. Small molecules and ions diffuse from one cell to a neighboring cell via the central pore.
Subunit / interactions. A hemichannel or connexon is composed of a hexamer of connexins. A functional gap junction is formed by the apposition of two hemichannels. Forms heteromeric channels with GJB2.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Cell junction. Gap junction.
Disease relevance. Erythrokeratodermia variabilis et progressiva 2 (EKVP2) [MIM:617524] 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. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the connexin family. Beta-type (group I) subfamily.
