P2Y₂ Nucleotide Receptors Expressed Heterologously in Sympathetic Neurons Inhibit Both N-Type Ca²⁺ and M-Type K⁺ Currents [PDF]
, 1998 The P2Y₂ receptor is a uridine/adenosine triphosphate (UTP/ATP)-sensitive G-protein-linked nucleotide receptor that previously has been reported to stimulate the phosphoinositide signaling pathway.

Purinergic mechanisms in neuroinflammation: An update from molecules to behavior. [PDF]
, 2015 The principle functions of neuroinflammation are to limit tissue damage and promote tissue repair in response to pathogens or injury. While neuroinflammation has utility, pathophysiological inflammatory responses, to some extent, underlie almost all ...

The E-NTPDase Family of Ectonucleotidases: Structure Function Relationships and Pathophysiological Significance [PDF]
, 2011 Ectonucleotidases are ectoenzymes that hydrolyze extracellular nucleotides to the respective nucleosides. Within the past decade, ectonucleotidases belonging to several enzyme families have been discovered, cloned and characterized.

CellsG protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) exist in the conformational equilibrium between inactive state and active state, where the proportion of active state in the absence of a ligand determines the basal activity of GPCRs.

Purinergic signalling: past, present and future [PDF]
, 2009 The discovery of non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neurotransmission in the gut and bladder in the early 1960's is described as well as the identification of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as a transmitter in these nerves in the early 1970's.

The role of dinucleoside polyphosphates on the ocular surface and other eye structures [PDF]
, 2016 Dinucleoside polyphosphates comprises a group of dinucleotides formed by two nucleosides linked by a variable number of phosphates, abbreviated NpnN (where n represents the number of phosphates). These compounds are naturally occurring substances present

A Nutrient Combination that Can Affect Synapse Formation [PDF]
, 2014 Brain neurons form synapses throughout the life span. This process is initiated by neuronal depolarization, however the numbers of synapses thus formed depend on brain levels of three key nutrients—uridine, the omega-3 fatty acid DHA, and choline.
