Anti-PANX1 / Pannexin 1

0.5mg/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water. Pannexin 1 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the PANX1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the innexin family. Innexin family members are the structural components of gap junctions. This protein and pannexin 2 are abundantly expressed in central nerve system (CNS) and are coexpressed in various neuronal populations. Studies in Xenopus oocytes suggest that this protein alone and in combination with pannexin 2 may form cell type-specific gap junctions with distinct properties. Protein function: Structural component of the gap junctions and the hemichannels involved in the ATP release and nucleotide permeation (PubMed:16908669, PubMed:20829356, PubMed:30918116). May play a role as a Ca(2+)-leak channel to regulate ER Ca(2+) homeostasis (PubMed:16908669). Plays a critical role in oogenesis (PubMed:30918116). [The UniProt Consortium]
