Molecular characterization and expression analysis of ATP-gated P2X7 receptor involved in Japanese flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) innate immune response.

ATP-gated P2X7 receptor (P2RX7) channel is a key component for purinergic signaling and plays important roles in the innate immune response in mammals. However, the expression, molecular properties and immune significances of P2RX7 in lower vertebrates are still very limited. Here we identified and...
