P2X purinoceptor 7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the P2RX7 gene.The product of this gene belongs to the family of purinoceptors for ATP. Multiple alternatively spliced variants which would encode different isoforms have been identified although some fit nonsense-mediated decay criteria.The receptor is found in the central and peripheral nervous systems in microglia in macrophages in uterine endometrium and in the retina.
