## Abstract Among seven members of P2X ionotropic receptors activated by extracellular ATP, the P2X~7~ subtype is unique in that it can function as a cation channel, a nonselective pore, or even a signaling complex coupled with multiple downstream components. Several roles of P2X~7~ receptors have

## Abstract The P2X~7~ receptor has been implicated in the release of cytokines and in the induction of cell death, and is up‐regulated in a transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. Using cocultures of rat cortical neurons and microglia, we show that ATP and the more potent P2X~7~ agonist ben
