Purinergic signalling 20190423 2
ATP and its metabolites are important extracellular signal transmitters acting on purinergic P2 and P1 receptors. Most cells can actively secrete ATP in response to a variety of external stimuli such as gating of the P2X7 receptor. We used Yac-1 murine lymphoma cells to study P2X7-mediated ATP release. These cells co-express P2X7 and ADP-ribosyltransferase ARTC2, permitting gating of P2X7 by NAD<sup>+</sup>-dependent ADP-ribosylation without the need to add exogenous ATP. Yac-1 cells released AT ...[more]
