P2RX1

P2RX1, or purinergic receptor P2X, ligand-gated ion channel 1, is a gene that encodes a protein which is part of the P2X receptor family. These receptors are activated by extracellular ATP and are known to function as ion channels that facilitate the passage of ions such as sodium, potassium, and calcium across cell membranes. P2RX1 is involved in various physiological processes, including neurotransmission, pain sensation, inflammation, and immune responses.
