Summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of P2X receptors, which are ATP-gated ion channels and mediate rapid and selective permeability to cations. This gene is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle, and regulated by p53. The encoded protein is associated with VE-cadherin at the adherens junctions of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene, which is also located on chromosome 22, has been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2009]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) uses an alternate splice site in its 5' region and lacks an alternate exon, resulting in use of an alternate start codon, compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (3) contains a shorter and distinct N-terminus compared to isoform 1. Variants 3, 4, 11, and 12 all encode the same isoform (3).

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (5) has multiple differences, compared to variant 1. These differences result in a longer 5' UTR, cause translation initiation at an alternate start codon, result in a translational frameshift, and a shorter 3' UTR, compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (4) is shorter and has distinct N- and C-termini, compared to isoform 1.
