International Union of Pharmacology. XXV. Nomenclature and classification of adenosine receptors.
- B. Fredholm, A. Ijzerman, K. Jacobson, K. Klotz, J. Linden
- Biology, Medicine
- Pharmacological reviews
- 1 December 2001
Four adenosine receptors have been cloned and characterized from several mammalian species. The receptors are named adenosine A(1), A(2A), A(2B), and A(3). The A(2A) and A(2B) receptors preferably… Expand

- Biology, Medicine
- Pharmacological reviews
- 1 June 1994
“Receptors recognize a distinct chemical entity and translate information from that entity into a form that the cell can read to alter its state” (Kenakin et al., 1992). Even though the receptors are… Expand

Changes associated with conformationally selective agonist binding shed light on G protein–coupled receptor activation. Activation of G protein–coupled receptors upon agonist binding is a critical… Expand
UDP acting at P2Y6 receptors is a mediator of microglial phagocytosis
- S. Koizumi, Y. Shigemoto-mogami, +7 authors K. Inoue
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 26 April 2007
Microglia, brain immune cells, engage in the clearance of dead cells or dangerous debris, which is crucial to the maintenance of brain functions. When a neighbouring cell is injured, microglia move… Expand
