GJC1

Gap junction gamma-1 protein (GJC1), also known as gap junction alpha-7 protein (GJA7) and connexin 45 (Cx45) — is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GJC1 gene.

Function

This gene is a member of the connexin gene family. The encoded protein is a component of gap junctions, which are composed of arrays of intercellular channels that provide a route for the diffusion of low molecular weight materials from cell to cell. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been described.

    The Human Genome Organisation (HUGO) is an organization involved in the Human Genome Project, a project about mapping the human genome. HUGO was established in 1989 as an international organization, primarily to foster collaboration between genome scientists around the world. The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC), sometimes referred to as "HUGO", is one of HUGO's most active committees and aims to assign a unique gene name and symbol to each human gene.

    History

    HUGO was established in late April 1988 at the first meeting dedicated to genome mapping at Cold Spring Harbor. The idea of starting the organization stemmed from a South African biologist by the name of Sydney Brenner, who is known for his significant contributions to work on the genetic code and other areas of molecular biology, as well as winning the Nobel prize in Physiology of Medicine in 2002. A Founding Council was elected at the meeting that total 42 scientists from 17 different countries. HUGO is grounded in Geneva Switzerland, and later went on to elect an additional 178 members, bringing the total up to 220.

    This Car Is Fast

    by: Kajagoogoo

    Nobody knew the people who were needing to save time
    So anxious to the little few unnecessary crime
    Everyone saw your reasons for cruising for the ride
    Breaking law was all he said why don't you step inside
    CHORUS
    This car this car is fast
    This car this car is fast
    This car this car is fast
    This car this car is fast
    So keep it in mind you generally find a life just rushing by
    Exceptionally and obviously some people will even try
    Sympathy is what I feel but who would even care
    So life is slow and the pressure's on
    Just let down the hair
    Repeat CHORUS
    Nobody has to know
    The secret though
    The world will want to know
    As I understand this car is grand it's a leader in its field
    Though simple it seems to drive easily and the guarantee is sealed
    Don't wonder how to drive this car just a simple simple rule to know
    You should drive at the maximum speed because we don't want to get bored
