Dlx-5 Polyclonal Antibody, 20ul Glassware Each gap junction channel is

Each gap junction channel is formed by docking of 2 hemichannels

Variations in this gene have been associated with hypospadias

It may also function as a redox-sensitive chaperone

and the BTB disruption is related to a dysfunction of this gene

Dlx-5 Polyclonal Antibody, 20ul Glassware Each gap junction channel isDLX5 encodes a member of a homeobox transcription factor gene family similiar to the Drosophila distal less gene. The encoded protein (distal less homeobox 5) may play a role in bone development and fracture healing. Mutation in DLX5, which is located in a tail to tail configuration with another member of the family on the long arm of chromosome 7, may be associated with split hand split foot malformation.
