Structural and functional properties of the rat P2X4 purinoreceptor extracellular vestibule during gating

P2X receptors are ATP-gated cation channels consisting of three subunits that are mutually intertwined and form an upper, central, and extracellular vestibule with three lateral portals and the channel pore. Here we used cysteine and alanine scanning mutagenesis of the rat P2X4R receptor V47-V61 and...
