Principles and properties of ion flow in P2X receptors

P2X receptors are a family of trimeric ion channels that are gated by extracellular adenosine 5’-triphosphate (ATP). These receptors have long been a subject of intense research interest by virtue of their vital role in mediating the rapid and direct effects of extracellular ATP on membrane potentia...
