Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 18436 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables monoatomic cation channel activity and purinergic nucleotide receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; regulation of monoatomic ion transport; and serotonin secretion by platelet. Located in external side of plasma membrane and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including bladder; foregut-midgut junction; heart; liver lobe; and midgut. Orthologous to human P2RX1 (purinergic receptor P2X 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit low male fertility due to impaired vas deferens contraction and reduced numbers of ejaculated sperm. Mutants also show mild hypertension and reduced susceptibility to experimental thromboembolism. [provided by MGI curators] |
