The P2X7 Receptor ELISA kits listed below utilize specific antibodies for the plate-based assay of P2X7 Receptor in various samples. P2X7 Receptor is another term for the P2RX7 gene, which encodes the protein, purinergic receptor P2X 7 in humans. It has been reported that P2X7 Receptor plays a role in the apoptotic pathway and receptor-mediated signaling pathways, among other functions. Structurally, the P2RX7 protein is 595 amino acid residues in length and 68.6 kilodaltons in mass. However, as many as 8 protein isoforms have been identified. It is localized to the cell membrane of the cell. In terms of tissue specificity, it is reported to be widely expressed with highest levels in the brain and immune tissues. This protein is known to be glycosylated, palmitoylated and phosphorylated. Other names for this target antigen include P2X7, P2X purinoceptor 7, and ATP receptor.
