Purinergic Signaling in Spermatogenesis
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) serves as the essential source of cellular energy. Over the last two decades, however, ATP has also attracted increasing interest as an extracellular signal that activates purinergic plasma membrane receptors of the P2 family.

Purinergic signaling in the modulation of redox biology
Redox Biology, 2021 Purinergic signaling is a cell communication pathway mediated by extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides. Tri- and diphosphonucleotides are released in physiological and pathological circumstances activating purinergic type 2 receptors (P2 receptors ...

Expression of P2 Purinergic Receptors in Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Their Roles in Extracellular Nucleotide Regulation of Cell Functions [PDF]
Journal of Cellular Physiology, 2017 Extracellular ATP and other nucleotides induce autocrine and/or paracrine purinergic signalling via activation of the P2 receptors on the cell surface, which represents one of the most common signalling mechanisms. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are a type

Interaction of P2 purinergic receptors with cellular macromolecules [PDF]
Naunyn-Schmiedeberg's Archives of Pharmacology, 2007 Ionotropic P2X and metabotropic P2Y receptors interact with a number of macromolecules in the cell membrane which may contribute to their functional plasticity. P2X receptors are homomeric or heteromeric assemblies of three subunits. P2Y receptors may form oligomeric complexes either with the same or with other P2Y receptor types.

The adenosinergic machinery in cancer: In-tandem insights from basic mechanisms to therapy
Frontiers in Immunology, 2023 Extracellular adenosine (eADO) signaling has emerged as an increasingly important regulator of immune responses, including tumor immunity. eADO is mainly produced from extracellular ATP (eATP) hydrolysis.

The Role of Purinergic Signaling in Heart Transplantation
Frontiers in Immunology, 2022 Heart transplantation remains the optimal treatment option for patients with end-stage heart disease. Growing evidence demonstrates that purinergic signals mediated by purine nucleotides and nucleosides play vital roles in heart transplantation ...

The relationship between P2X4 and P2X7: a physiologically important interaction? [PDF]
, 2013 Purinergic signaling within the kidney is becoming an important focus in the study of renal health and disease. The effectors of ATP signaling, the P2Y and P2X receptors, are expressed to varying extents in and along the nephron.
