  • N.A., not applicable.

  • 7-a P2X7 and endogenous P2X7-like receptor.

  • 7-b P2Y1 and endogenous P2Y1-like receptors acting through PLC couple to Gq/11 proteins; P2Y1 and endogenous P2Y1-like receptors acting through adenylate cyclase couple to Gi proteins; P2Y2 and endogenous P2Y2-like receptors, P2Y4 and P2Y ADPreceptors couple to Gq/11 and Gi proteins; p2y3 and P2Y6 receptors couple to Gq/11 proteins.

  • 7-c P2Y1 and endogenous P2Y1-like receptors andP2Y ADP receptors.

  • 7-d Some endogenous P2Y1-like receptors activate K+ channels via interactions with their G protein subunits.

  • 7-e P2Y1 and endogenous P2Y1-like receptor signaling; possibly downstream of PKC.

  • 7-f P2Y1 and P2Y2 receptors and their endogenous counterparts; signaling possibly downstream of PKC.

  • 7-g P2Y1 and P2Y2 receptors and their endogenous counterparts; signaling downstream of PKC.

  • 7-h Secondary to activation of PLC, although activation of K+ currents by some endogenous P2Y1-like receptors is via direct interactions with G protein subunits.

  • 7-i P2Y1 and P2Y2 receptors and their endogenous counterparts; ATP is an antagonist at P2Y ADPreceptors.

  • 7-j P2Y2 and endogenous P2Y2-like receptors.

  • 7-k P2Y1 and endogenous P2Y1-like receptors.

  • 7-l P2X1, P2X3 and heteromeric P2X2P2X3 receptors.

  • 7-m P2Y2 and endogenous P2Y2-like receptors and P2Y4 receptors.

  • 7-n P2Y6 receptor.

  • 7-o P2Y ADP.

  • 7-p P2Y1 and endogenous P2Y1-like receptors coupled to AC.
