DESCRIPTION

Also known as P2RX7_RAT, P2rx7. Receptor for ATP that acts as a ligand-gated ion channel. Responsible for ATP-dependent lysis of macrophages through the formation of membrane pores permeable to large molecules. Could function in both fast synaptic transmission and the ATP-mediated lysis of antigen-presenting cells. Functional P2XRs are organized as homomeric and heteromeric trimers. Interacts with LAMA3, ITGB2, ACTB, ACTN4, SVIL, MPP3, HSPA1, HSPCB, HSPA8, PIK230 and PTPRB (By similarity). Interacts (via C-terminus) with EMP2 (By similarity).
