Regulations and functions of P2Y₂ and P2X₇ nucleotide receptors in the central nervous system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)It is well known that ATP acts as a classic neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. It is stored in synaptic vesicles, released upon neuronal excitation, and activates both ion channel receptors (P2X) and G ... -
The role of P2Y₂ nucleotide receptors in vascular inflammation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Extracellular nucleotides act on P2 receptors to regulate vascular tone. Large amounts of extracellular nucleotides are released at the sites of tissue injury and may play an important role in the vascular inflammation. ... -
The role of the P2Y₂ nucleotide receptor in inflammation: the mechanisms of P2Y₂ receptor-mediated activation of G proteins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)The extracellular ATP/UTP receptor, i.e., the P2Y₂ receptor (P2Y₂R), mediates pro-inflammatory responses in the vasculature, including the endothelium-dependent infiltration of monocytes and their transmigration into sites ...
