Full name: purinergic receptor P2X 5

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: LRH-1; P2X5; P2X5R

Summary: The product of this gene belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP. This receptor functions as a ligand-gated ion channel. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Read-through transcription also exists between this gene and the neighboring downstream gene, TAX1BP3 (Tax1 binding protein 3). [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]
