Pannexin 1 as a driver of inflammation and ischemia–reperfusion injury [PDF]
Pannexin 1 (Panx1) is a ubiquitously expressed protein forming large conductance channels that are central to many distinct inflammation and injury responses. There is accumulating evidence showing ATP released from Panx1 channels, as well as metabolites, provide effective paracrine and autocrine signaling molecules that regulate different elements of ...

Functional implications of calcium permeability of the channel formed by pannexin 1. [PDF]
Although human pannexins (PanX) are homologous to gap junction molecules, their physiological function in vertebrates remains poorly understood. Our results demonstrate that overexpression of PanX1 results in the formation of Ca(2+)-permeable gap ...

Identification of Pannexins in Rat Nasal Mucosa
Pannexins are a second family of gap-junction proteins in vertebrates, classified as pannexin-1, pannexin-2, and pannexin-3. Pannexin-1 is one of the candidates for channel-mediated ATP release into the extracellular space.

Emerging concepts regarding pannexin 1 in the vasculature [PDF]
Pannexin channels are newly discovered ATP release channels expressed throughout the body. Pannexin 1 (Panx1) channels have become of great interest as they appear to participate in a multitude of signalling cascades, including regulation of vascular function. Although numerous Panx1 pharmacological inhibitors have been discovered, these inhibitors are

Structural order in Pannexin 1 cytoplasmic domains [PDF]
Pannexin 1 forms ion and metabolite permeable hexameric channels with abundant expression in the central nervous system and elsewhere. Although pannexin 1 does not form intercellular channels, a common channel topology and oligomerization state, as well as involvement of the intracellular carboxyl terminal (CT) domain in channel gating, is shared with ...

Pannexin-1 in silico modeling towards physiological and pathological functioning [PDF]
The transmembrane pore protein Pannexin-1 (Panx1) forms channels allowing the release of purine nucleotides and participates in processes related to purinergic signaling, including blood pressure regulation, apoptotic cell clearance, and neuropathic pain.

Is the Pannexin-1 channel a mechanism underlying hypertension in humans? A translational study of human hypertension [PDF]
Background: In preclinical models, the pannexin-1 channel has been shown to be involved in blood pressure regulation through an effect on peripheral vascular resistance. Pannexin-1 releases ATP, which can activate constrictive purinergic receptors on the

Single-cell dynamics of pannexin-1-facilitated programmed ATP loss during apoptosis
ATP is essential for all living cells. However, how dead cells lose ATP has not been well investigated. In this study, we developed new FRET biosensors for dual imaging of intracellular ATP level and caspase-3 activity in single apoptotic cultured human ...

Pannexin 1 crosstalk with the Hippo pathway in malignant melanoma. [PDF]
Abstract In this study, we explored the intricate relationship between Pannexin 1 (PANX1) and the Hippo signaling pathway effector, Yes-associated protein (YAP). Analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) data revealed a significant positive correlation between PANX1 mRNA and core Hippo components, YAP, TAZ, and Hippo scaffold, IQGAP1 ...
