Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In the CNS, several P2 receptors for extracellular nucleotides are identified on neurons and glial cells to participate to neuron-neuron, glia-glia and glia-neuron communication. RESULTS: In this work, we describe the cellular and subcellular presence of metabotropic P2Y1 receptor in rat cerebellum at two distinct developmental ages, by means of immunofluorescence-confocal and electron microscopy as...
