## Abstract Extracellular nucleotide di‐ and triphosphates such as ATP and ADP mediate their effects through purinergic P2 receptors belonging to either the metabotropic P2Y or the ionotropic P2X receptor family. The P2X~7~R is a unique member of the P2X family, which forms a pore in response to li
## Abstract The P2X~7~ receptor is an ATP‐gated ionotropic receptor that is permeable for small cations including Ca^2+^ ions. Using 293 cells expressing P2X~7~ receptors, we show that the P2X~7~ receptor‐specific ligand 2′,3′‐__O__‐(4‐benzoyl‐benzoyl)‐ATP (BzATP) induces a signaling cascade leadin
