Application

α,β-Methyleneadenosine 5′-triphosphate lithium salt has been used:as P2-purinoreceptor agonist (P2X), to analyse its effects on membrane conductance in the astrocytes of caudal nucleusas a P2X receptor agonist, to increase the calcium current in the neurons in satellite cellsto determine the functional sensitivities of purinergic agonists on P2Y receptors in rat and to determine its effect on developing outer sulcus cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

P2 purinoceptor agonist that is more potent than ATP at the P2X subtype.
