Analysis of Spatial and Temporal Distribution of Purinergic P2 Receptors in the Mouse Hippocampus [PDF]
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021 ATP and other nucleotides are important glio-/neurotransmitters in the central nervous system. They bind to purinergic P2X and P2Y receptors that are ubiquitously expressed in various brain regions modulating various physiological and pathophysiological processes.

P2 purinergic receptor modulation of cytokine production [PDF]
Purinergic Signalling, 2007 Cytokines serve important functions in controlling host immunity. Cells involved in the synthesis of these polypeptide mediators have evolved highly regulated processes to ensure that production is carefully balanced. In inflammatory and immune disorders, however, mis-regulation of the production and/or activity of cytokines is recognized as a major ...

Role of P2-purinergic receptors in rat Leydig cell steroidogenesis [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1996 The present study investigated the effects of extracellular ATP on the intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) and testosterone production in isolated adult rat Leydig cells. This nucleotide caused an increase in [Ca2+]i, with a maximal effect at a concentration of 100 µM ATP, comprising a rapid initial spike followed by a long-lasting ...
