ATP binds to p2x7
P2X7 is a receptor for extracellular ATP that acts as a ligand gated non-selective cation channel. It is also responsible for the ATP-dependent lysis of macrophages, which it brings about by mediating the formation of membrane pores permeable to large molecules (Adinolfi et al. 2005).
