Gene information for P2RX6 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID9127
Official gene symbolP2RX6
Full namepurinergic receptor P2X, ligand-gated ion channel, 6
Aliases,MGC129625,P2RXL1,P2X6,P2XM,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of P2X receptors, which are ATP-gated ion channels and mediate rapid and selective permeability to cations. This gene is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle, and regulated by p53. The encoded protein is associated with VE-cadherin at the adherens junctions of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 22, has been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
