P2rx3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including ATP binding activity; extracellularly ATP-gated monoatomic cation channel activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral response to formalin induced pain; cellular response to ATP; and neuronal action potential. Located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine; neuronal cell body; and terminal bouton. Is active in presynaptic membrane. Orthologous to human P2RX3 (purinergic receptor P2X 3).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat P2rx3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
