P2X5 Subunit Assembly Requires Scaffolding by the Second Transmembrane Domain and a Conserved Aspartate
26 Sept 2006
Abstract excerpt
Functional homomeric and heteromeric ATP-gated P2X receptor channels have been shown to display a characteristic trimeric architecture. Of the seven different isoforms (designated P2X(1)-P2X(7)), P2X(5) occurs in humans primarily as a non-functional variant lacking the C-terminal end of the ectodomain and the outer half of the second transmembrane domain. We show that this truncated variant, which results from...
