In the inner ear, regulates sound transduction and auditory neurotransmission, outer hair cell electromotility, inner ear gap junctions, and K(+) recycling (PubMed:23345450). Mediates synaptic transmission between neurons and from neurons to smooth muscle (By similarity). |

Background
The P2RX2 gene encodes the P2X2 receptor, which assembles as a trimer to form a ligand-gated ion channel gated by extracellular ATP. P2X2 receptors mediate a variety of cellular responses, including excitatory postsynaptic responses in sensory neurons. The product of this gene belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP. P2RX2 is mapped to 12q24.33. It has been found that ATP-activated P2RX2 influenced OHC electromotility, a stimulus-induced change in hair cell length that functions as an amplifier to determine hearing sensitivity and frequency selectivity. What’s more, P2RX2 channels were necessary for development of the temporary threshold shift.
