---|---|
Function | Ion channel involved in a variety of physiological functions such as blood pressure regulation, apoptotic cell clearance and oogenesis (PubMed:15304325, PubMed:16908669, PubMed:20829356, PubMed:20944749, PubMed:30918116). Forms anion-selective channels with relatively low conductance and an order of permeabilities: nitrate>iodide>chlroride>>aspartate=glutamate=gluconate (By similarity). Can release ATP upon activation through phosphorylation or cleavage at C-terminus (PubMed:32238926). May play a role as a Ca(2+)- leak channel to regulate ER Ca(2+) homeostasis (PubMed:16908669). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00351}. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00351} |
Tissue Location | Widely expressed (PubMed:30918116). Highest expression is observed in oocytes and brain (PubMed:30918116). Detected at very low levels in sperm cells (PubMed:30918116) |

Background
PANX1 Antibody: The pannexin gene family encodes a second class of putative gap junction proteins and are highly conserved in invertebrates and mammals. Pannexins (Panx) are four-pass transmembrane proteins that oligomerize to form large pore ion and metabolite-permeable channels. Pannexin-1 (PANX1) and Pannexin-3 are closely related, while Pannexin-2 is a more distant relation. PANX1 is a transmembrane protein that forms a mechanosensitive ATP-permeable channel between adjacent cells and in the endoplasmic reticulum. PANX1 may play a role as a Ca2+ -leak channel to regulate ER Ca2+ homeostasis and regulates neural stem and progenitor cell proliferation.
