CC -!- FUNCTION: Structural component of gap junctions. Gap junctions are
CC dodecameric channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells.
CC They are formed by the docking of two hexameric hemichannels, one from
CC each cell membrane. Small molecules and ions diffuse from one cell to a
CC neighboring cell via the central pore. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29033}.
CC -!- SUBUNIT: A hemichannel or connexon is composed of a hexamer of
CC connexins. A functional gap junction is formed by the apposition of two
CC hemichannels (By similarity). Forms heteromeric channels with GJB4.
CC Interacts with CNST (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29033,
CC ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q00977}.
CC -!- SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q00977};
CC Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29033}. Cell
CC junction, gap junction {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q00977}. Note=Colocalizes
CC with GJB4 at gap junction plaques in the cochlea.
CC {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q00977}.
CC -!- SIMILARITY: Belongs to the connexin family. Beta-type (group I)
CC subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
