Expression of a P2X7 Receptor by a Subpopulation of Human Osteoblasts
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
There is now conclusive evidence that extracellular nucleotides acting via cell surface P2 receptors are important local modulators of bone cell function. Multiple subtypes of P2 receptors have been localized to bone, where their activation modulates multiple processes including osteoblast proliferation, osteoblast-mediated bone formation, and osteoclast formation and resorptive capacity. Locally released...
