P2rx6 - purinergic receptor P2X, ligand-gated ion channel, 6 Gene

Predicted to enable extracellularly ATP-gated cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in response to ATP. Predicted to act upstream of or within ion transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine; neuronal cell body; and postsynaptic density. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be integral component of nuclear inner membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; heart; lung; parathyroid gland; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human P2RX6 (purinergic receptor P2X 6).
