Implications of pannexin 1 and pannexin 3 for keratinocyte differentiation [PDF]
Pannexin (Panx) 1 and Panx3 are integral membrane proteins that share some sequence homology with the innexin family of invertebrate gap junctions. They are expressed in mammalian skin. Pannexins have been reported to form functional mechanosensitive single-membrane channels, but their importance in regulating cellular function is poorly understood. In

A review of the current state of pannexin channels as they relate to the blood vessel wall
Pannexin proteins comprise a family of channels whose sole function, to date, is the release of nucleotides (e.g., adenosine 5'-triphosphate [ATP] and uridine 5′-triphosphate [UTP]).

Pannexins in Acute Kidney Injury [PDF]
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is highly prevalent among hospitalized patients and is associated with serious consequences with limited pharmacological treatment options. Pannexin 1 (Panx1) channel is a ubiquitously expressed nonselective membrane transport channel that efficiently effluxes ATP and plays a central role in the progression of inflammatory ...

The emerging Pannexin 1 signalome: a new nexus revealed?
Pannexins (Panxs) are a family of single-membrane, large-pore ion and metabolite permeable channels. Of the three Panx proteins, Panx1 has been most extensively studied, and has recently emerged as an exciting, clinically relevant target in many ...

Calcium Signaling in the Photodamaged Skin: In Vivo Experiments and Mathematical Modeling
The epidermis forms an essential barrier against a variety of insults. The overall goal of this study was to shed light not only on the effects of accidental epidermal injury, but also on the mechanisms that support laser skin resurfacing with intra ...

Gap junctions, pannexins and pain [PDF]
Enhanced expression and function of gap junctions and pannexin (Panx) channels have been associated with both peripheral and central mechanisms of pain sensitization. At the level of the sensory ganglia, evidence includes augmented gap junction and pannexin1 expression in glial cells and neurons in inflammatory and neuropathic pain models and increased

Analysis of a pannexin 2-pannexin 1 chimeric protein supports divergent roles for pannexin C-termini in cellular localization [PDF]
Pannexins (Panxs) are a three-member family of large pore ion channels permeable to ions and small molecules. Recent elegant work has demonstrated that the Panx1 C-terminus plays an important role in channel trafficking. Panx2, another family member, has a longer and highly dissimilar C-terminus.
