Gene: P2RX6
Alternate names for this Gene: P2RXL1|P2X6|P2XM
Gene Summary: The 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 22
Location in Chromosome : 22q11.21
Description of this Gene: purinergic receptor P2X 6
Type of Gene: protein-coding
