The present study investigated the pharmacological properties of excitatory P2X receptors
and P2X2 and P2X5 receptor subunit expression in rat‐cultured thoracolumbar sympathetic …

The pioneering work on neurotransmission in the peripheral nervous system carried out
earlier in the century led to the widely accepted idea that noradrenaline (NA) was the sole …

Nucleotide and nucleoside signaling occurs via autocrine, paracrine, and neurotransmission
modes, mediated by P2 (nucleotide) and P1 (adenosine A 1–A 3) receptor transduction …

P2X receptor subunits have been found in the brain, with P2X2, P2X4, and P2X6 showing a
high level of expression. Here, we review the findings about the distribution of P2X receptor …

To further characterize the pattern of expression of the ligand-gated purinergic P2X
receptors in the peripheral vestibular system, we conducted reverse transcription …

We isolated and characterized genomic clones of the human P2X1 receptor (hP2X1) gene
in an effort to understand its tissue specific expression. The hP2X1 gene contains 12 exons …

P2X receptors are a new sub-class of ligand-gated cation channels (Barnard and Humphrey
1998). Of the seven subunits cloned to date, all have a similar predicted topology, and are …

Differential effects of ATP on tetrodotoxin-sensitive (TTX-S) and tetrodotoxin-resistant (TTX-
R) sodium currents in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons were studied using the whole-cell …

We have already shown, by calcium imaging with an electrophysiological method and direct
detection of glutamate, that ATP inhibits the glutamate release from cultured rat …

Background: This study was designed to examine the responses to and the mechanism by
which purinergic agonists decrease vascular resistance in the mesenteric vascular bed of …
