About P2rx7

Chromosome 5: 122,781,974-122,829,495 forward strand.GRCm39:CM000998.3

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants), 195 orthologues, 6 paralogues and is associated with 27 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in subcutaneous fat pad adult (RPKM 4.7), lung adult (RPKM 4.4) and 28 other tissues.

Summary

Enables several functions, including ATP binding activity; extracellularly ATP-gated cation channel activity; and lipopolysaccharide binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cell volume and sensory perception of pain. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including organophosphate ester transport; positive regulation of cytokine production; and positive regulation of secretion. Located in several cellular components, including external side of plasma membrane; neuromuscular junction; and neuronal cell body. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain; heart; and metanephros. Orthologous to human P2RX7 (purinergic receptor P2X 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
