Cx31.1 (GJB5) is predominantly expressed in the testes and the skin epidermis.
Cx31.1 rarely form functional gap junction channels, either with itself or with other Cx isoforms.
Gap junctions play important roles in various physiologic functions such as regulation of cell proliferation, cell differentiation, tissue development and cell apoptosis.
In most cases, Cxs act as tumour suppressors: Gap junctions play an important role as tumour suppressors in maintaining cell differentiation and preventing transformation
Cx31.1 reduced tumour cell proliferation, anchorage-independent growth, migration and invasion.
Moreover, development of tumours in a xenograft model was suppressed by Cx31.1, suggesting that Cx31.1 may act as a tumour suppressor in NSCLC cell lines.

Cell spreading, which is characterized by the formation of filopodia and lamellipodia and represents the outward movement of cell membrane, polymerizing actin, and cytoskeletal complexes at the leading edge. Coordinated spreading and retraction allows cell migration.
