✦ Synopsis

Extracellular nucleotides have been implicated in a number of physiologic functions. Nucleotides act on cell surface receptors known as P2 receptors of which several subtypes have been cloned. Both ATP and ADP are stored in platelets and are released upon platelet activation. During vascular injury, nucleotides play an important role in hemostasis by activating platelets. Classic pharmacologic studies have identified ADP receptors on platelets, designated P2T receptor. The P2T receptor is now resolved into three P2 receptor subtypes, the P2Y 1 , the P2X 1 , and the P2T AC receptor, which remains to be cloned. Although the P2Y 1 receptor solely mediates ADP-induced platelet shape change, both the P2Y 1 and P2T AC receptors are essential for ADP-induced fibrinogen receptor activation on platelets. The function of the P2X 1 receptor remains to be elucidated. Thus the complexities in the functional characterization of platelet ADP receptors now appear to be resolved.

One of the immediate eukaryotic cellular responses to DNA breakage is the covalent post-translational modification of nuclear proteins with poly(ADP-ribose) from NAD+ as precursor, mostly catalysed by poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 (PARP-1). Recently several other polypeptides have been shown to cata

ADP-induced platelet responses play an important role in the maintenance of hemostasis. There has been disagreement concerning the identity of an ADP receptor on the platelet surface. The chemical structure of 7-chloro-4-nitrobenz-2-oxa-l,3-diazole (NBD-CI) shows considerable resemblance to that of
