P2RX2 (P2X2) is a purinoceptor that functions as an ATP-gated ion channel. The ectodomain movements of this receptor have been analyzed using disulphide locking. In propyl-methanethiosulfonate-attached P2X2 receptors; lipid intercalation can be facilitated between the transmembrane domains during channel opening. Rabbit Anti-P2RX2 antibody recognizes human and bovine P2RX2.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide directed towards the middle region of human P2RX2
Application
Rabbit Anti-P2RX2 is suitable for western blot (0.6 μg/ml) and IHC (4-8 μg/ml) applications.
Biochem/physiol Actions
P2RX2 belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP. This receptor functions as a ligand-gated ion channel. Binding to ATP mediates synaptic transmission between neurons and from neurons to smooth muscle. Six transcript variants encoding six distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

The ionic pore of the P2X receptor passes through the central axis of six transmembrane (TM) helices, two from each of three subunits. Val(48) and Ile(328) are at the outer end of TM1 and TM2, respectively. Homology models of the

The ectodomain of the P2X receptor is formed mainly from two- or three-stranded β-sheets provided symmetrically by each of the three subunits. These enclose a central cavity that is closed off furthest from the plasma membrane (the turret) and that
