Two open states of P2X receptor channels
The occupancy of the ATP binding sites of P2X receptor (P2XR) channels causes the rapid opening of a small cation-permeable pore, followed by a gradual dilation that renders the pore permeable to large organic cations. Electrophysiologically, this phenomenon was shown using whole-cell current record...
