Abstract excerpt
P2X receptors are non-selective cation channels gated by extracellular ATP and are encoded by a family of seven subunit genes in mammals. These receptors exhibit high permeabilities to calcium and in the mammalian nervous system they have been linked to modulation of neurotransmitter release. Previously, three complementary DNAs (cDNAs) encoding members of the zebrafish gene family have been described. We report...
