Gene Information

human ... P2RX1(5023)

General description

P2RX1 (P2X1) is a G-protein coupled receptor that is present in smooth muscles. It is known to associate with ATP and may modulate transmission. It may also regulate sympathetic vasoconstrictions in mouse vas deferens, arteries and urinary bladder. P2X1 defects in aged mice have been linked to benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Rabbit Anti-P2RX1 antibody recognizes human, bovine, rat, pig, mouse, and canine P2RX1.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human P2RX1

Application

Rabbit Anti-P2RX1 antibody is suitable for western blot (2.5 μg/ml) and IHC (4-8 μg/ml) applications.

Biochem/physiol Actions

P2RX1 belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP. This receptor functions as a ligand-gated ion channel with relatively high calcium permeability. Binding to ATP mediates synaptic transmission between neurons and from neurons to smooth muscle, being responsible, for example, for sympathetic vasoconstriction in small arteries, arterioles and vas deferens. Mouse studies suggest that this receptor is essential for normal male reproductive function. It is possible that the development of selective antagonists for this receptor may provide an effective non-hormonal male contraceptive pill.The product of this gene belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP.
