Pannexin 1 belongs to the innexin family. Innexin family members are the structural components of gap junctions. This protein and pannexin 2 are abundantly expressed in central nerve system (CNS) and are coexpressed in various neuronal populations. Studies in Xenopus oocytes suggest that this protein alone and in combination with pannexin 2 may form cell type-specific gap junctions with distinct properties. The deduced 48-kD protein contains 4 transmembrane domains and cytoplasmic N and C termini. Northern blot analysis detected Panx1 expression in rat eye, thyroid, prostate, kidney, liver, and central nervous system. In situ hybridization showed Pnx1 expression in several brain regions, including cortex, striatum, olfactory bulb, hippocampus, thalamus, and cerebellum.

Human Pannexin-1 (PANX1) ELISA Kit employs a two-site sandwich ELISA to quantitate PANX1 in samples. An antibody specific for PANX1 has been pre-coated onto a microplate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and anyPANX1 present is bound by the immobilized antibody. After removing any unbound substances, a biotin-conjugated antibody specific for PANX1 is added to the wells. After washing, Streptavidin conjugated Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) is added to the wells. Following a wash to remove any unbound avidin-enzyme reagent, a substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of PANX1 bound in the initial step. The color development is stopped and the intensity of the color is measured.
