Description

Definition and Target Specificity

P2RX1 antibodies are monoclonal or polyclonal reagents that bind to the P2RX1 receptor (UniProt ID: P51575 in humans), a protein encoded by the P2RX1 gene. This receptor facilitates ATP-mediated calcium and sodium ion flux across cell membranes and is implicated in processes like platelet activation, smooth muscle contraction, and immune modulation .

Key Epitopes:

  • C-terminal domain: Targeted by Alomone Labs’ APR-001 (amino acids 382–399 in rats) .

  • Extracellular domain: Recognized by FITC-conjugated antibodies (e.g., APR-022-F) .

Biological Roles of P2RX1

P2RX1’s functions span multiple systems:

  • Reproductive Health: Essential for normal male fertility in mice .

  • Immune Regulation: Modulates neutrophil infiltration and intestinal inflammation .

Target Background

Function
P2X1 is a ligand-gated ion channel characterized by its relatively high calcium permeability. Binding to ATP mediates synaptic transmission between neurons and from neurons to smooth muscle. It has been linked to apoptosis, as increased intracellular calcium concentration in the presence of ATP can trigger programmed cell death.
