[Structual and functional dynamics of the ATP receptor channel P2X(2)].

Abstract excerpt

ATP is known to function as a neurotransmitter. There are 2 major families of ATP receptors-the ion channel-type P2X receptors and metabotropic P2Y receptors. P2X receptors are known to possess unique properties of pore dilation that depends on the time lapse after ATP application; further, they exert their functions by directly interacting with nicotinic ACh receptors. These properties suggest the flexibility of...
