Characterisation of P2X7 receptors in human osteoblasts and modulation by oestrogen
Purinergic P2X7 receptors are ligand-gated ion channels characterized by the formation of a membrane pore upon continuous activation. This receptor has been shown to be expressed and functional in osteoclasts. P2X7 receptor knockout mice studies suggested that this receptor has a role in bone format...
