Gap junction alpha-10 protein , also known as connexin-62 (Cx62), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GJA10 gene .[5]
Connexins , such as GJA10, are involved in the formation of gap junctions , intercellular conduits that directly connect the cytoplasms of contacting cells. Each gap junction channel is formed by docking of 2 hemichannels, each of which contains 6 connexin subunits.[5] [6]
