Purinergic receptor P2X, ligand-gated ion channel, 2, also known as P2RX2, is a human gene.[1]

The product of this gene belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP. This receptor functions as a ligand-gated ion channel. Binding to ATP mediates synaptic transmission between neurons and from neurons to smooth muscle. Six transcript variants encoding six distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.[1]
