Description | The product of this gene belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP. This receptor functions as a ligand-gated ion channel and is responsible for ATP-dependent lysis of macrophages through the formation of membrane pores permeable to large molecules. Activation of this nuclear receptor by ATP in the cytoplasm may be a mechanism by which cellular activity can be coupled to changes in gene expression. Multiple alternatively spliced variants have been identified, most of which fit nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) criteria.; |

Function | ATP-gated nonselective transmembrane cation channel that requires high millimolar concentrations of ATP for activation (PubMed:17483156, PubMed:25281740, PubMed:9038151). Upon ATP binding, it rapidly opens to allow the influx of small cations Na(+) and Ca(2+), and the K(+) efflux (PubMed:17483156, PubMed:20453110, PubMed:28235784, PubMed:39262850). Also has the ability to form a large pore in the cell membrane, allowing the passage of large cationic molecules (PubMed:17483156). In microglia, may mediate NADPH transport across the plasma membrane (PubMed:39142135). In immune cells, P2RX7 acts as a molecular sensor in pathological inflammatory states by detecting and responding to high local concentrations of extracellar ATP. In microglial cells, P2RX7 activation leads to the release of pro- inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1beta and IL-18, through the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome and caspase-1 (PubMed:26877061). Cooperates with KCNK6 to activate NLRP3 inflammasome (By similarity). Activates death pathways leading to apoptosis and autophagy (PubMed:21821797, PubMed:23303206, PubMed:28326637). Activates death pathways leading to pyroptosis (By similarity). |
