Pannexin 1 Channels Play Essential Roles in Urothelial Mechanotransduction and Intercellular Signaling
Urothelial cells respond to bladder distension with ATP release, and ATP signaling within the bladder and from the bladder to the CNS is essential for proper bladder function. In other cell types, pannexin 1 (Panx1) channels provide a pathway for mechanically-induced ATP efflux and for ATP-induced A...
