Activation and inhibition of calcium‐dependent histamine secretion by ATP ions applied to rat mast cells.

Abstract: SUMMARY1. The concentration dependence on ATP of mast cell histamine secretion in the presence of various concentrations of Mg2+ and Ca2+ confirms that the agonist form of ATP is the free form of ATP (ATP(!ree)) not bound to divalent cations, i.e. ATP4-. It induces 50 % activation at about 1P2 ftM, maximal secretion at about 2 7 /IM and 50 % self-inhibition at about 44 ,UM.2. The divalent cations Mg2+ and Ca2+ were used to buffer ATP(free) in the range 1-8 /tM in the presence of much higher concentrations of A… Show more

“…Importantly, P2X 7 receptor activation leads to the opening of a nonselective pore permeable to large organic molecules (choline (100 Da), ethidium bromide (314 Da), YO-PRO-1 (376 Da), propidium iodide (414 Da), Lucifer Yellow (457 Da), and ATP itself (605 Da)) [5,40,60]. The ability to open such pore is an exclusive feature of the P2X 7 receptor.…”
