Gene: PANX1
Alternate names for this Gene: MRS1|OOMD7|PX1|UNQ2529
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the innexin family. Innexin family members are the structural components of gap junctions. This protein and pannexin 2 are abundantly expressed in central nerve system (CNS) and are coexpressed in various neuronal populations. Studies in Xenopus oocytes suggest that this protein alone and in combination with pannexin 2 may form cell type-specific gap junctions with distinct properties.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 11
Location in Chromosome : 11q21
Description of this Gene: pannexin 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
