Purinergic receptors
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Purinergic receptors are a family of receptors which are activated by purine-containing compounds such as adenosine and the nucleotides ATP and UTP.
The members of the family include the following:
| Name | Activation | Class |
| P2Y receptors | nucleotide-activated | G protein-coupled receptors |
| P1 receptors | adenosine-activated | G protein-coupled receptors |
| P2X receptors | ligand-gated ion channel |
