Abstract excerpt
Relatively little information is available about the relationship between the molecular structure of each of the seven subtypes of P2X receptors and their function. Here, we investigated the possible function of three histidine residues in the extracellular loop of rat P2X(4) receptors. Mutation of histidine 241 to alanine (H241A) in the rat P2X(4) receptor decreased the EC(50) value of the ATP...
