Abstract excerpt
1. The ATP-activated P2X2(a) and P2X2(b) receptor splice variants, which differ only in their C-terminal sequences, desensitize at different rates. We used mutational analysis to investigate the involvement of the C-terminal region in receptor desensitization. Rat wild-type and mutant P2X2 receptors were expressed in Xenopus oocytes and currents were measured using the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique. 2....
