Method Researchers examined the effects of anions on the function of the hP2X7R, which was heterologously expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. By using the voltage-clamp technique, membrane potential-dependent effects could be excluded.
Comments P2X7 receptors (P2X7Rs) are nonselective cation channels that are opened by the binding of extracellular ATP and are involved in the modulation of epithelial secretion, inflammation and nociception. pKD1 and pKD2 are the negative decadic logarithms of the apparent ATP dissociation constants.
