G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) are important pharmacological targets in all clinical areas, for controlling many physiological processes. Currently, around 50% of drugs on the market act directly or indirectly through GPCRs. Large pharmaceutical companies are looking for new ligands targeting these receptors that show potential as new medicines. Recently the literature has highlighte…
In recent years, a large amount of studies is dedicated to understand the role of ATP as an intercellular signaling agent. Several evidences confirm its function as a mediator and/or modulator of both fast events, like the neurotransmission, as well as of long term cellular processes, involving G proteins. ATP acts on the plasma membrane by interacting with purinergic receptors P2X (ligan…
