General description

P2X receptors are membrane-bound ion channels that are activated by extracellular ATP. These receptors consist of seven known isoforms ranging from P2X1 to P2X7 . P2X7 modulates several cellular functions such as cell death, cytokine release and mRNA synthesis . Anti-Purinergic Receptor P2(X7) (extracellular) antibody is specific for P2X7 in rats and mice. The antibody also reacts with human K562 (Chronic myelogeneous leukemia); WEHI-231 (Lymphoma, B lymphocyte) and HL-60 (promyelocytic leukemia) cell lines.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide corresponding to residues 136-152 of mouse P2X7 receptor. This antigenic epitope is identical in humans and rats; whereas in bovines, only 14/17 residues are identical.

Physical form

Lyophilized from phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, 1% BSA, and 0.05% sodium azide.
