Function | Structural component of lens fiber gap junctions (PubMed:30044662). Gap junctions are dodecameric channels that connect the cytoplasm of adjoining cells (By similarity). 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 (PubMed:30044662). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9TU17}. Cell junction, gap junction |

Background
Gap junction alpha-3 protein, also known as Connexin-46, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GJA3 gene. This gene is mapped to 13q12.11. The protein encoded by this gene is a connexin and is a component of lens fiber gap junctions. 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. Defects in this gene are a cause of zonular pulverulent cataract type 3 (CZP3).
