Pharmacological and Molecular Characterisation of P2Y Receptors in Endothelial and Epithelial Cells [PDF]
, 2007 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of Wolverhampton for the degree of Doctor of PhilosophyIn light of the significant modulation of receptor activity previously shown by a peptide (designated L247), designed to mimic ...

Multiple P2Y receptors couple to calcium-dependent, chloride channels in smooth muscle cells of the rat pulmonary artery [PDF]
, 2005 Uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) and uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP) act via P2Y receptors to evoke contraction of rat pulmonary arteries, whilst adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) acts via P2X and P2Y receptors.

Purinergic Regulation of Neutrophil Function
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Purinergic signaling, which utilizes nucleotides (particularly ATP) and adenosine as transmitter molecules, plays an essential role in immune system. In the extracellular compartment, ATP predominantly functions as a pro-inflammatory molecule through ...

The potential for biased signalling in the P2Y receptor family of GPCRs
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.The purinergic receptor family is primarily activated by nucleotides, and contains members of both the G protein coupled‐receptor (GPCR) superfamily (P1 and P2Y) and ligand‐gated ion channels (P2X). The P2Y receptors are widely expressed in the human body, and given the ubiquitous nature of nucleotides, purinergic signalling is involved with a plethora

, 2007 Ionotropic P2X and metabotropic P2Y purinergic receptors are expressed in the central nervous system and participate in the synaptic process particularly associated with acetylcholine, GABA, and glutamate neurotransmission. As a result of activation, the

Metabotropic purinergic receptors in lipid membrane microdomains
, 2013 There is broad evidence that association of transmembrane receptors and signalling molecules with lipid rafts/caveolae provides an enriched environment for protein-protein interactions necessary for signal transduction, and a mechanism for the modulation

Novel therapeutic targets for chronic visceral pain in gastrointestinal disorders
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Chronic visceral pain imposes a major clinical challenge in gastroenterology and beyond, profoundly impacting patients' quality of life. However, limited understanding of its complex, multifaceted pathophysiology, encompassing both peripheral and central mechanisms, continues to impede the development of effective management strategies.

, 2013 P2X receptors are expressed on ventrolateral medulla projecting paraventricular nucleus (PVN) neurons. Here, we investigate the role of adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) in modulating sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) at the level of the PVN.

Purinergic neurotransmission and nucleotide receptors
, 2023 Adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) is a neurotransmitter of postganglionic sympathetic nerves and nonadrenergic, noncholinergic nerves of the enteric nervous system.

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) was the first noxious heat‐sensitive channel discovered. In rodents, its role is robust in the heat response of the cell body of polymodal nociceptors, but surprisingly small in that of the peripheral terminals in the skin.
