Abstract

We have isolated cDNA encoding a fourth member (P2X-4) of the ATP receptor P2X receptor family from a rat pancreatic islet cDNA library. Rat P2X-4 is a protein of 388 amino acids which shares 50%, 49%, and 47% identity with P2X-1, P2X-2, and P2X-3, respectively, and has two putative transmembrane segments. Rat P2X-4 mRNA is widely expressed in brain and peripheral tissues, including various endocrine tissues, and it is also expressed in various hormone-secreting cell lines. We have heterologously expressed the cloned P2X-4 in Xenopus laevis oocytes and have characterized its pharmacological properties. ATP, its analogs and ADP activate cation-selective ion channels. The order of agonist potency is ATP ADP 2-methyl- thioATP(2MeSATP) > alpha beta-methelene-ATP (alpha betameATP). ATP-evoked currents are only partially blocked by suramin, reactive blue-2, or H2DIDS. The present study suggests that P2X-4, with pharmacological properties distinct from those of P2X-1+, P2X-2, and P2X-3, mediates extracellular ATP-induced biological effects in non-neuronal cells, including endocrine cells, as well as in neuronal cells.

African Trypanosomiasis

African trypanosomiasis, also known as sleeping sickness, is an insect-borne parasitic disease of humans and other animals. It is caused by protozoa of the species Trypanosoma brucei and almost invariably progresses to death unless treated. Discover the latest research on African trypanosomiasis here.
