Abstract excerpt
P2X(7) receptors are important in mediating the physiological functions of extracellular ATP, and altered receptor expression and function have a causative role in the disease pathogenesis. Here, we investigated the mechanisms determining the P2X(7) receptor function by following two human single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) mutations that replace His-155 and Ala-348 in the human (h) P2X(7) receptor with the...
