Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables extracellularly ATP-gated monoatomic cation channel activity. Involved in sensory perception of sound. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including neuromuscular synaptic transmission; skeletal muscle fiber development; and smooth muscle contraction. Located in plasma membrane. Is active in neuronal dense core vesicle. Is expressed in facial ganglion; heart; medulla oblongata basal plate mantle layer; and vagus ganglion. Used to study autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 41. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 41. Orthologous to human P2RX2 (purinergic receptor P2X 2).
