  • P2X receptors in neuroglia [Elektronski vir]
    Verkhratsky, Alexei ...
    Different types of ionotropic P2X purinoceptors are expressed in all major types of neuroglia, where they mediate a variety of physiological and pathological signaling. Cortical astrocytes express ... specific P2X 1/5 heteromeric receptors that are activated by ongoing synaptic transmission and can trigger fast local signaling through elevation in cytoplasmic Ca 2+ and Na + concentrations. Oligodendrocytes express several types of P2X receptors that may control their development and mediate axonal-glial interactions. In microglia, P2X 4 and P2X 7 receptors regulate numerous events associated with microglial activation, motility, and release of proinflammatory factors.
