Investigation of the Inhibitory Effects of the Benzodiazepine Derivative, 5-BDBD on P2X4 Purinergic Receptors by two Complementary Methods
Background/Aims: ATP-gated P2X4 purinergic receptors (P2X4Rs) are cation channels with important roles in diverse cell types. To date, lack of specific inhibitors has hampered investigations on P2X4Rs. Recently, the benzodiazepine derivative, 5-BDBD has been proposed to selectively inhibit P2X4Rs. H...
