Abstract excerpt
ATP-gated P2X(2) channels undergo activation-dependent permeability increases as they proceed from the selective I(1) state to the I(2) state that is readily permeable to organic cations. There are two main models about how permeability changes may occur. The first proposes that permeability change-competent P2X channels are clustered or redistribute to form such regions in response to ATP. The second proposes...
