Summary: Predicted to enable gap junction channel activity. Acts upstream of or within labyrinthine layer morphogenesis; spongiotrophoblast differentiation; and trophoblast giant cell differentiation. Predicted to be part of connexin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; reproductive system; sensory organ; and skin. Orthologous to human GJB5 (gap junction protein beta 5).

What's a GeneRIF?

Findings show delayed differentiation of connexin31.1 (Gjb5)-deficient trophoblast stem cell.
Title: Connexin31.1 (Gjb5) deficiency blocks trophoblast stem cell differentiation and delays placental development.
gap-junctions featuring the Cx31.1 protein might be involved in open-field exploration as well as object memory and modulate levels of acetylcholine esterase and cAMP response element-binding protein in the striatum and piriform cortex
Title: Connexin31.1 deficiency in the mouse impairs object memory and modulates open-field exploration, acetylcholine esterase levels in the striatum, and cAMP response element-binding protein levels in the striatum and piriform cortex.
Connexin31.1 is critical for normal placental development but appears to be functionally compensated by other connexin isoforms in the embryo proper and adult mouse.

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.
