basic FUNCTION
| with PANX1 have many characteristics that are distinct from GJA1 and these proteins probably play an important biological role as single membrane channels ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
play a role in gap junctional intercellular communication and as single-membrane channels, although many of its molecular characteristics differ from connexins (important role for pannexin glycosylation in trafficking)![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
like connexins, may play an important role in hearing ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
may have functions to switch the chondrocyte cell fate from proliferation to differentiation by regulating the intracellular ATP/cAMP levels ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
regulator of the switching mechanism behind the transition of chondrocytes from a proliferative state to a postmitotic state and that it is required for chondrocyte differentiation ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
functioned as a unique Ca(2+) channel in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which was activated by (PI3K)/Akt signaling, followed by activation of calmodulin signaling for differentiation ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
regulator that promotes osteoblast differentiation by functioning as an ER Ca(2+) channel and a hemichannel, and by forming gap junctions ![](pubmed.jpg) |
|
PANX1 and PANX3 are co-expressed in human skeletal muscle myoblasts and play a pivotal role in dictating the proliferation and differentiation status of these cells ![](pubmed.jpg) |
