The P2X4 receptor is a newly identified receptor expressed in the heart cell. Its function was
elucidated with cardiac transgenic (TG) expression of the receptor by using the myocardium …

We report here the cloning of a chicken cDNA (402 aa) showing high sequence similarity to
the previously cloned rat and human P2X5 receptors (67 and 69%, respectively). The …

ATP-gated P2X2 receptors are widely expressed in neurons, but the cellular effects of
receptor activation are unclear. We engineered functional green fluorescent protein (GFP) …

There are at least three subtypes of cloned metabotropic P2 receptors linked to intracellular
Ca2+ rises in rat brain cells, namely, P2Y1, P2Y2 and P2Y4. In this study we explore the …

Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons respond to ATP with transient, persistent or biphasic
inward currents. In contrast, the ATP responses in nodose neurons are persistent. These …

Dinucleoside polyphosphates are an interesting group of signalling molecules that control
numerous physiological functions. Diadenosine compounds, with a backbone of anything …

The expression of ATP-gated ion channels (P2X receptors) was investigated in testes of
adult rats by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting with antibodies against all seven …

The ventrolateral medulla has a critical role in the generation and patterning of respiration
via an extensive network of respiratory neurones. We have investigated the effects of …

Effects of ATP on substance P immunoreactivity were examined in cultured dorsal root
ganglion neurons. We found that treatment of dorsal root ganglion neurons with ATP …

Application of ATP and α, β‐methylene ATP (αβmeATP) to voltage‐clamped guinea‐pig
pelvic neurons produced three types of inward currents. A fast‐desensitizing response was …
