Abstract figure legend Detrusor smooth muscle surrounding the urinary bladder produces transient pressure events essential for sensing bladder fullness during the filling phase. We investigated the role of adenosine, a ubiquitous signalling molecule, in regulating bladder smooth muscle function.

P2X7 Receptor Mediated Increase In Cell Membrane Permeability
Purinergic receptors consist of two main families; P2X and P2Y. P2Y receptors are G protein coupled receptors (GPCR), whereas P2X receptors are non-selective cation channels. P2X7 receptors which is a member of P2X receptors, have been found myriad types

Purinergic signalling: past, present and future [PDF]
The discovery of non-adrenergic, non-cholinergic neurotransmission in the gut and bladder in the early 1960's is described as well as the identification of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) as a transmitter in these nerves in the early 1970's.

Dinucleoside polyphosphates : newly detected uraemic compounds with an impact on leucocyte oxidative burst [PDF]
Background. Dinucleoside polyphosphates (NpnN) have pathophysiologic roles in cardiovascular disease and are newly detected uraemic retention solutes. They were retrieved in human plasma, tissues and cells.

Emerging key roles for P2X receptors in the kidney [PDF]
P2X ionotropic non-selective cation channels are expressed throughout the kidney and are activated in a paracrine or autocrine manner following the binding of extracellular ATP and related extracellular nucleotides. Whilst there is a wealth of literature
