PANX2 - pannexin 2 Gene
Also Known as PX2; hPANX2
Species: Homo sapiens
About PANX2
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 190 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in brain (RPKM 3.4), kidney (RPKM 1.1) and 16 other tissues.
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 1 are abundantly expressed in central nervous system (CNS) and are coexpressed in various neuronal populations. Studies in Xenopus oocytes suggest that this protein alone and in combination with pannexin 1 may form cell type-specific gap junctions with distinct properties. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2009]
