PANX1

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the innexin family. Innexin family members are the structural components of gap junctions. This protein and pannexin 2 are abundantly expressed in central nerve system (CNS) and are coexpressed in various neuronal populations. Studies in Xenopus oocytes suggest that this protein alone and in combination with pannexin 2 may form cell type-specific gap junctions with distinct properties. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Pannexin 1

Structural component of the gap junctions and the hemichannels involved in the ATP release and nucleotide permeation (PubMed:16908669, PubMed:20829356, PubMed:30918116).
May play a role as a Ca2+-leak channel to regulate ER Ca2+ homeostasis (PubMed:16908669).
Plays a critical role in oogenesis (PubMed:30918116).

S-nitrosylation inhibits channel currents and ATP release.
N-glycosylation may play a role in cell surface targeting (By similarity).
Exists in three glycosylation states: non-glycosylated (GLY0), high-mannose glycosylated (GLY1), and fully mature glycosylated (GLY2) (PubMed:30918116).
