Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: P2X receptors are trimeric ligand-gated ion channels that open a cation-selective pore in response to ATP binding to their large extracellular domain. The seven known P2X subtypes can assemble as homotrimeric or heterotrimeric complexes and contribute to numerous physiological functions, including nociception, inflammation and hearing. The overall structure of P2X receptors is well...
