Definition of Pannexin. Meaning of Pannexin. Synonyms of Pannexin

- Pannexins (from Gr**** 'παν' — all, and from Latin 'nexus' — connection) are a family of vertebrate proteins identified by their homology to the invertebrate...
- reducing its deposition in various tissues. Probenecid also inhibits pannexin 1. Pannexin 1 is involved in the activation of inflammasomes and subsequent release...
- one-half of a gap junction channel. Hemichannels consist of connexins. Pannexins are involved in the process of purinergic signalling. They release adenosine...
- Pannexin 1 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the PANX1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the innexin family. Innexin family members...
- in vivo in the same way connexins do. The more recently characterized pannexin family, which was originally thought to form intercellular channels (with...
- Furthermore, pannexins appear to do this to such an extent they may rarely if ever parti****te in direct cell to cell coupling. As indicated on the pannexin/innexin/connexin...
- by MITF. Activation of the P2X7 receptor by ATP leads to recruitment of pannexin pores which allow small molecules such as ATP to leak out of cells. This...
- IP3 and cause release of ATP through channels in the membrane made of pannexins. The net effect is a calcium wave that propagates from cell to cell. Extracellular...
- called "pannexins" (from the Gr**** pan - all, throughout, and Latin nexus - connection, bond). However, increasing evidence suggests that pannexins do not...
- beaded apoptopodia (the latter having a beads-on-a-string appearance). Pannexin 1 is an important component of membrane channels involved in the formation...
