PANX1 pannexin 1

Gene ID: 24145, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PX1; MRS1; OOMD7; OZEMA7; UNQ2529

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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
