In this article we are going to address the topic of P2RX3, which is a topic of great relevance today. P2RX3 is a topic that has generated a lot of interest and debate in different areas, from politics to science. It is important to thoroughly analyze this issue, as it has a significant impact on society and our daily lives. Throughout this article we will explore different aspects related to P2RX3, from its historical origin to its implications in the modern world. We hope that this article sheds light on P2RX3 and contributes to the understanding of this very relevant topic.
P2X purinoceptor 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the P2RX3gene.[5][6]
The product of this gene belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP. This receptor functions as a ligand-gated ion channel and may transduce ATP-evoked nociceptor activation. Mouse studies suggest that this receptor is important for peripheral pain responses, and also participates in pathways controlling urinary bladder volume reflexes, platelet aggregation, macrophage activation, apoptosis and neuronal–glial interactions. It is possible that the development of selective antagonists for this receptor may have a therapeutic potential in pain relief and in the treatment of disorders of urine storage.[6]
