Abstract excerpt
A novel member of the ionotropic ATP receptor gene family has been identified in human brain. This 422 amino acid long P2X receptor subunit has 62% sequence identity with rat P2X5. Several characteristic motifs of ATP-gated channels are present in its primary structure, but this P2X5-related subunit displays a single transmembrane domain. Heterologous expression of chimeric subunits containing the C-terminal...
