ATP and potassium ions: a deadly combination for astrocytes

The ATP release channel Pannexin1 (Panx1) is self-regulated, i.e. the permeant ATP inhibits the channel from the extracellular space. The affinity of the ATP binding site is lower than that of the purinergic P2X(7) receptor allowing a transient activation of Panx1 by ATP through P2X(7)R. Here we sho...
