Abstract excerpt
Recombinant human P2X(7) receptors, C-terminally labelled with enhanced green fluorescent protein (P2X(7)-EGFP), were transiently expressed in HEK293 cells. Activation of these receptors by their preferential agonist 2',3'-O-(4-benzoylbenzoyl)-ATP (BzATP) induced inward currents and propidium ion uptake indicating the opening of cationic channels and of large pores permeable for dye molecules, respectively. Two...
