Gene:
purinergic receptor P2X-like 1, orphan receptor
Gene ID:
190757
Symbol:
P2RXL1
Species:
1000
Description:
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.
