P2X receptors

P2X 受体

英文解释

P2X receptors are ligand gated ion channels which are activated by the endogenous ligand ATP. They are formed from the assembly of three P2X subunit proteins from the complement of seven (P2X 1-7), which can associate to form homomeric or heteromeric P2X receptors.

中文解释

P2X 受体 (P2X receptors) 是由内源性配体 ATP 激活的配体门控离子通道。它们是由七个配体 (P2X 1-7) 中的三个 P2X 亚基蛋白组装而成，它们可以结合形成同质或异质P2X受体。
