Smooth muscle does not have a common P2x receptor phenotype: expression, ontogeny and function of P2x1 receptors in mouse ileum, bladder and reproductive systems.

Abstract excerpt

The distribution, ontogeny and role of P2x1 receptors were examined in the smooth muscle of the mouse intestine, bladder, and male and female reproductive tracts using P2x1 receptor subtype selective antibodies and contraction studies. P2x1 receptor immunoreactivity showed a heterogeneous distribution in smooth muscle with high levels expressed in adult vas deferens, bladder, arteries and male reproductive...
