Purinergic Signaling in Liver Pathophysiology

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2021
Extracellular nucleosides and nucleotides activate a group of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) known as purinergic receptors, comprising adenosine and P2Y receptors. Furthermore, purinergic P2X ion channels are activated by ATP.

Purinergic Regulation of Neutrophil Function

open access: yesFrontiers 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 cellular distribution of P2X7, P2Y6, and P2Y12 during or after pilocarpine-induced status epilepticus and literature review [PDF]

open access: yesBrain Circulation
BACKGROUND: When a seizure occurs, the distribution of purine receptors in different cell types at various time points remains poorly understood. Our literature review revealed that P2X7, P2Y6, and P2Y12 are expressed in different cells during epilepsy ...
