The P2RX7 antibody, HRP (horseradish peroxidase) conjugated, is a specialized immunochemical tool designed for detecting the P2X purinoceptor 7 (P2RX7), an ATP-gated ion channel involved in diverse physiological and pathological processes. HRP conjugation enables high-sensitivity detection in assays like Western blot (WB), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) by catalyzing chromogenic or chemiluminescent reactions. While the provided sources do not explicitly describe HRP-conjugated P2RX7 antibodies, they offer critical insights into P2RX7 antibody applications and properties, which can inform the development and use of conjugated variants.

P2X7 Receptor acts as a ligand-gated ion channel, recognizing ATP as its ligand. It plays a crucial role in ATP-dependent lysis of macrophages by forming membrane pores permeable to large molecules. This receptor contributes to both fast synaptic transmission and ATP-mediated lysis of antigen-presenting cells. When its natural ligand, ATP, is absent, it functions as a scavenger receptor, recognizing and engulfing apoptotic cells.
