Abstract excerpt
ATP functions as a neurotransmitter and a neuromodulator in various tissues by acting on metabotropic (P2Y) and ionotropic (P2X) receptors. Evidence suggests that ATP activates P2X receptors on several cell types in the organ of Corti of guinea pig including outer hair cells (OHCs), Deiters' cell...
