Dual Signaling Pathways of Arterial Constriction by Extracellular Uridine 5′-Triphosphate in the Rat

Dual Signaling Pathways of Arterial Constriction by Extracellular Uridine 5′-Triphosphate in the Rat

We investigated actions of uridine 5′-triphosphate (UTP) in rat aorta, cerebral and mesenteric arteries, and their single myocytes. UTP (≥10 μM) elicited an inward-rectifying current strongly reminiscent of activation of P2X1 receptor, and a similar current was also induced by α,β-methylene adenosin...
