Human pannexin 1 channel is not phosphorylated by Src tyrosine kinase at Tyr199 and Tyr309. [PDF]
Protein phosphorylation is one of the major molecular mechanisms regulating protein activity and function throughout the cell. Pannexin 1 (PANX1) is a large-pore channel permeable to ATP and other cellular metabolites.

Poly (I:C)-induced inflammation requires the activation of toll-like receptor 3/Ca<sup>2+</sup>/CaMKII/pannexin 1-dependent signaling. [PDF]
Pannexin1 (Panx1) is a glycoprotein, ubiquitously expressed throughout vertebrate tissues. In the cell membrane, it forms non-selective hemichannels (Panx1 HCs) that allow the release of ATP.

Pannexin 1 induces Rhabdomyosarcoma cell fusion by downregulating APOBEC2 [PDF]
Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is an aggressive cancer thought to arise from impaired myogenesis. This can be substantially overcome by increasing the levels of pannexin 1 (PANX1), a critical component of the myogenic program, but the mechanism involved is ...

Pannexin-1 channel inhibition alleviates opioid withdrawal in rodents by modulating locus coeruleus to spinal cord circuitry. [PDF]
Opioid withdrawal is a liability of chronic opioid use and misuse, impacting people who use prescription or illicit opioids. Hyperactive autonomic output underlies many of the aversive withdrawal symptoms that make it difficult to discontinue chronic ...

The C-terminal activating domain promotes pannexin 1 channel opening. [PDF]
Significance Signaling metabolites, such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP), are released through membrane channels to effectively clear dying cells in the body. Pannexin 1 (Panx1) serves as such a signal releaser and plays a pivotal role in immune response.

Pannexin 1 dysregulation in Duchenne muscular dystrophy and its exacerbation of dystrophic features in mdx mice. [PDF]
Background Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is associated with impaired muscle regeneration, progressive muscle weakness, damage, and wasting. While the cause of DMD is an X-linked loss of function mutation in the gene encoding dystrophin, the exact ...

The ATP-exporting channel Pannexin 1 promotes CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell effector and memory responses. [PDF]
Summary Sensing of extracellular ATP (eATP) controls CD8+ T cell function. Their accumulation can occur through export by specialized molecules, such as the release channel Pannexin 1 (Panx1).

Pannexin-1 opening in neuronal edema causes cell death but also leads to protection via increased microglia contacts. [PDF]
Neuronal swelling during cytotoxic edema is triggered by Na+ and Cl- entry and is Ca2+ independent. However, the causes of neuronal death during swelling are unknown.

The Role of Pannexin-1 Channels in HIV and NeuroHIV Pathogenesis [PDF]
The human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV) enters the brain shortly after infection, leading to long-term neurological complications in half of the HIV-infected population, even in the current anti-retroviral therapy (ART) era. Despite decades of research,
