P2RX6

P2RX6, or purinergic receptor P2X 6, is a gene that encodes a protein belonging to the purinergic receptor family. Specifically, it is a member of the P2X receptor group, which are ionotropic receptors activated by extracellular ATP (adenosine triphosphate). These receptors are involved in various physiological processes, including neurotransmission, muscle contraction, and the regulation of blood flow.
