A QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF PURINOCEPTOR EXPRESSION IN HUMAN FETAL AND ADULT BLADDERS
1 May 2001
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: In adults there is evidence that adenosine triphosphate acting at P2X receptors functions as a co-transmitter at vesical smooth muscle. The contractile mechanisms of human fetal bladder have been studied to a limited extent and it remains undetermined whether P2X receptors contribute. We compared the expression of the 7 known P2X receptors in fetal and adult human bladders using a quantitative polymerase...
