Abstract excerpt
The P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) is a calcium-permeable cation channel activated by high concentrations of extracellular ATP. It plays a role in vital physiological processes, particularly in innate immunity, and is dysregulated in pathological conditions such as inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, mood disorders, and cancers. Structural modeling of the human P2X7R (hP2X7R) based on the recently available...
