Systematic analyses of the sequence conservation and ligand interaction patterns of purinergic P1 and P2Y receptors provide a structural basis for receptor selectivity

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2023
Purinergic receptors are membrane proteins that regulate numerous cellular functions by catalyzing reactions involving purine nucleotides or nucleosides.

Purinergic Signaling and Aminoglycoside Ototoxicity: The Opposing Roles of P1 (Adenosine) and P2 (ATP) Receptors on Cochlear Hair Cell Survival [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2019
Purinergic signaling regulates important physiological processes and the homeostatic response to stress in the cochlea via extracellular nucleosides (adenosine) and nucleotides (ATP, UTP).

Purinergic Receptors of the Central Nervous System: Biology, PET Ligands, and Their Applications

Molecular Imaging, 2020
Purinergic receptors play important roles in central nervous system (CNS). These receptors are involved in cellular neuroinflammatory responses that regulate functions of neurons, microglial and astrocytes.

Prenatal exposure to valproic acid induces alterations in the expression and activity of purinergic receptors in the embryonic rat brain

Folia Neuropathologica, 2022
Purinergic signalling is involved in the control of several processes related to brain development, such as neurogenesis and gliogenesis, migration and differentiation of neuronal precursors, synaptogenesis and synaptic elimination to achieve a fully ...

Uridine adenosine tetraphosphate is a novel vasodilator in the coronary microcirculation which acts through purinergic P1 but not P2 receptors

Pharmacological Research, 2013
Uridine adenosine tetraphosphate (Up4A) has been identified as an endothelium-derived contracting factor, which acts through purinergic P2X and P2Y receptors. Since the coronary vascular actions of Up4A are unknown, we investigated the vasoactive profile of Up4A in coronary microvessels, and studied the involvement of purinergic receptor subtypes ...

Purinergic receptors in microglia: Functional modal shifts of microglia mediated by P2 and P1 receptors

Glia, 2012
AbstractMicroglia are sensitive to environmental changes and are immediately transformed into several phenotypes. For such dynamic “modal shifts”, purinergic receptors have central roles. When microglia sense ATP/ADP leaked from injured cells by P2Y12 receptors, they are transformed into a moving phenotype, showing process extension and migration ...
