G protein-coupled P2Y nucleotide receptors have been described in cells of the immune system, including neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, B-and T-lymphocytes, granulocytes, and myeloblasts. In the monocyte/macrophage lineage, a P2Y 2 receptor subtype activated equipotently by adenosine 5β²-triphos
## Abstract ATP is the dominant messenger for astrocyteβtoβastrocyte calciumβmediated communication. Definition of the exact ATP/P2 receptors in astrocytes and of their coupling to intracellular calcium ([Ca^2+^]~i~) has important implications for brain physiology and pathology. We show that, with
## Abstract Extracellular matrix influences cell behavior through receptors such as integrins and through transmission of mechanical forces. Nucleotides are released in response to mechanical stimuli and bind to P2 nucleotide receptors. As chondrocytes are subjected to frequent mechanical stimulati
