| Sequence Similarities | Belongs to the P2X receptor family. |
| Name | P2RX6 |
|---|---|
| Synonyms | P2RXL1, P2X6 |
| Function | May act as a modulatory subunit rather than a functional channel. Unlike other P2XRs members, P2RX6 does not seem to form functional homotrimers (PubMed:22378790). P2RX6 requires the presence of P2RX4 or P2RX2 to shuttle it to the plasma membrane where it may form functional heterotrimeric receptors at the plasma membrane (PubMed:22378790). P2RX6 can be translocated to the nucleus and functions as a nuclear regulator of post-transcriptional modifications in neurons (By similarity). |
| Cellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51579}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51579}. Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O54803} Nucleus inner membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O54803}; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Heteromerization of P2RX6 subunits with either P2RX2 or P2RX4 subunits guides the P2RX6 subunit to the plasma membrane (By similarity). Monomers remain anchored to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membrane by the hydrophobic N-terminal end (By similarity). Mainly expressed in the cell body of the hippocampal neurons (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O54803, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P51579} |

Background
Purinergic receptor P2X-Like 1, also known as P2X6, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the P2RX6 gene. The encoded protein is associated with VE-cadherin at the adherens junctions of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. This gene belongs to the family of P2X receptors. P2RXL1 gene was mapped to chromosome 22q11 by fluorescence in situ hybridization. This gene is a receptor for ATP that acts as a ligand-gated ion channel. It can mediate rapid and selective permeability to cations.

Foundational characteristics of cancer include proliferation, angiogenesis, migration, evasion of apoptosis, and cellular immortality. Find key markers for these cellular processes and antibodies to detect them.
The SUMOplot™ Analysis Program predicts and scores sumoylation sites in your protein. SUMOylation is a post-translational modification involved in various cellular processes, such as nuclear-cytosolic transport, transcriptional regulation, apoptosis, protein stability, response to stress, and progression through the cell cycle.
The Autophagy Receptor Motif Plotter predicts and scores autophagy receptor binding sites in your protein. Identifying proteins connected to this pathway is critical to understanding the role of autophagy in physiological as well as pathological processes such as development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, stress, infection, and cancer.
