The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from the Internal region of human P2RX3. AA range:81-130
Alternative Names:
P2RX3, P2X purinoceptor 3, P2X3, ATP receptor, Purinergic receptor
The product of this gene belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP. This receptor functions as a ligand-gated ion channel and may transduce ATP-evoked nociceptor activation. Mouse studies suggest that this receptor is important for peripheral pain responses, and also participates in pathways controlling urinary bladder volume reflexes. It is possible that the development of selective antagonists for this receptor may have a therapeutic potential in pain relief and in the treatment of disorders of urine storage.
