## 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

Activation of purinoceptor by ATP induces in eosinophils various cell responses including calcium transients, actin polymerization, production of reactive oxygen metabolites, CD11b-expression, and chemotaxis. Here, the effect of ion channel-gated P2X and/or G protein-coupled P2Y receptor agonists AT
Since the identification of a P2X receptor-mediated central synapse in 1992 and the initial cloning of the P2X receptors in 1994 there has been great interest in the possible functions of P2X receptors in the CNS. The purpose of this review is not to detail every study but to highlight recent advanc
