P2RX2 Gene

HGNC Family Purinergic receptors (P2R), Ion channels
Name purinergic receptor P2X, ligand gated ion channel, 2
Description The product of this gene 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. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nP2X receptors containing the P2X2 subunit (encoded by P2RX2) are ATP‐gated, cation‐selective ion channels that predominantly assemble as trimers. Multiple studies using biochemical cross‐linking, atomic force microscopy, and concatemer expression have established the trimeric architecture of these receptors, with ATP binding occurring at intersubunit crevices. Site‐directed mutagenesis has further shown that conserved extracellular residues and motifs (including key lysine, asparagine, and arginine residues as well as FT and NFR motifs) are essential for proper ATP binding and channel gating, and that only two intact binding sites per trimer are sufficient for receptor activation. In addition, comparisons of the closed and desensitized states highlight distinct conformational rearrangements that underlie channel opening and desensitization."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "7"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nGenetic and functional studies have implicated P2RX2 in auditory function, with mutations in this gene causing a dominantly inherited, progressive sensorineural hearing loss (DFNA41).
