Regulation of Immune Response by P2X7 Receptor
1 Jan 2006
Abstract excerpt
The P2X7 receptor is an ATP-gated cation channel that is widely expressed in cells of the immune system. Signal transduction is accompanied by fast influx of Ca2+ and Na+, and efflux of K+. This receptor differs from other members of the P2X family in its relatively low affinity for ATP, the presence of a long C-terminal region that contains several protein-protein interaction motifs, and the activation of two...
