Gene information for PANX2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID56666
Official gene symbolPANX2
Full namepannexin 2
Aliases,MGC119432,PX2,hPANX2,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene belongs to the innexin family. Innexin family members are the structural components of gap junctions. This protein and pannexin 1 are abundantly expressed in central nervous system (CNS) and are coexpressed in various neuronal populations. Studies in Xenopus oocytes suggest that this protein alone and in combination with pannexin 1 may form cell type-specific gap junctions with distinct properties. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
