Abstract excerpt
P2X receptors are membrane proteins that incorporate a cation-selective ion channel that can be opened by the binding of extracellular ATP. They associate as hetero- and homo-multimers of currently unknown stoichiometry. In this study, we have used Xenopus laevis oocytes to express rat P2X(2) receptor subunits, which carry a cysteine mutation at position 336. ATP-induced currents at this mutant receptor subunit...
