It i s now clear that noradrenaline (NA) is not the sole excitatory cotransmitter in perivascular sympathetic nerves, as both adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) are co-stored with NA in synaptic vesicles and co-released during nerve stimulation. The relative contribution of the
Previous pharmacological experiments have indicated the existence of ATP P2X receptors in chick embryonic skeletal muscles. In this study we cloned a P2X 4 -like cDNA encoding a protein of 385 amino acids, which shares 75% and 76% identity with rat and human P2X 4 receptors, respectively. Functional
Chloride-dependent action potentials were elicited from embryonic skeletal muscle fibers of the chick during the last week of in ovo development. The duration of the action potentials was extremely long (>8 sec). The action potentials were reversibly blocked by the stilbene derivative, SITS, a speci
