ATP- and Adenosine-Mediated Signaling in the Central Nervous System: Purinergic Receptor Complex: Generating Adenine Nucleotide-Sensitive Adenosine Receptors

Adenosine A1 receptors (A1R) are able to form a heteromeric complex with P2Y1 receptors (P2Y1R) that generates A1R with P2Y1R-like agonistic pharmacology. A potent P2Y1R agonist, adenosine 5′-O-(2-thiotriphosphate), binds the A1R binding pocket of the A1R/P2Y1R complex and inhibits adenylyl cyclase...
