Modulation of ceramide metabolism in mouse primary macrophages.

abstract：:Interaction of P2X7 receptor with P2X4 receptor has recently been suggested, but it remains unclear whether P2X4 receptor is involved in P2X7 receptor-mediated events, such as cell death of macrophages induced by high concentrations of extracellular ATP. Here, we present evidence that P2X4 receptor does play a role in...
