Extracellular purines and pyrimidines are important signaling molecules acting via purinergic cell-surface receptors in neurons, glia, and glia-like cells such as sustentacular supporting cells (SCs) of the olfactory epithelium (OE). Here, we thoroughly characterize ATP-induced responses in SCs of t
