## Abstract Loss‐of‐function mutations of the parkin gene causes an autosomal recessive juvenile‐onset form of Parkinson's disease (AR‐JP). Parkin was shown to function as a RING‐type E3 ubiquitin protein ligase. However, the function of parkin in neuronal cells remains elusive. Here, we show that
ATP is an important signaling molecule in the nervous system and it's signaling is mediated through the metabotropic P2Y and ionotropic P2X receptors. ATP is known to stimulate Ca 2ϩ influx and phospholipase D (PLD) activity in the type-2 astrocyte cell line, RBA-2; in this study, we show that the r
