Abstract excerpt
P2X receptors are ligand-gated cation channels that transition from closed to open states upon binding ATP. The crystal structure of the closed zebrafish P2X4.1 receptor directly reveals that the ion-conducting pathway is formed by three transmembrane domain 2 (TM2) alpha-helices, each being prov...
