Extracellular nucleotides play important trophic roles in development and central nervous system (CNS) injury, but the functions of distinct purinergic receptors and related signaling pathways have not been fully elucidated. In the present study we identified opposing effects of P2X and P2Y receptor
Many, potentially all, inflammatory and immune cells express purinergic receptors of the P1 and P2 type. In recent years, availability of molecular probes and, in some cases, specific antibodies has initiated an investigation of their possible involvement in the inflammatory response. A very recent
