P2X receptors are nucleotide-gated cation channels composed of homomeric or
heteromeric assemblies of three subunits. In the past 7 years, an extended series (P2X 1–7) …

This review concerns enzymes that can degrade nucleoside 5′-tetra-and pentaphosphates
(p4N and p5N) and those that can degrade various dinucleoside polyphosphates (Np3 …

During the establishment of neural circuits, the axons of neurons grow towards their target
regions in response to both positive and negative stimuli. Because recent reports show that …

We have tested the hypothesis that neuropathic pain acting as a stressor drives functional
plasticity in the sympathoadrenal system. The relation between neuropathic pain and …

Diadenosine polyphosphates are members of a group of dinucleoside polyphosphates that
are ubiquitous, naturally occurring molecules. They form a recently identified class of …

Diadenosine polyphosphates are a family of naturally occurring nucleotidic compounds
present in secretory vesicles together with other chemical messengers. The exocytotic …

The antagonist activity of a series of diinosine polyphosphates (IpnI, where n= 3, 4, 5) was
assessed against ATP‐activated inward currents at rat P2X1–4 receptors expressed in …

The presence and activity of nucleotides and dinucleotides in the physiology of most, if not
all, organisms, from bacteria to humans, have been recognized by the scientific community …

The present work reports that activation of P2X7 receptor induces synaptic vesicle release in
granule neurons and phosphorylation of synapsin-I by calcium–calmodulin-dependent …

The combination of immunological and microfluorimetric techniques has permitted the
identification and analysis of the Ca2+ influx responses in single rat midbrain cholinergic …
