Pathophysiological Role of Extracellular Purinergic Mediators in the Control of Intestinal Inflammation
Purinergic mediators such as adenosine 5′-triphosphate (ATP) are released into the extracellular compartment from damaged tissues and activated immune cells. They are then recognized by multiple purinergic P2X and P2Y receptors. Release and recognition of extracellular ATP are associated with both t...
