Abstract
⺠Pannexin and connexin hemichannels represent an important route for ATP release. ⺠Purinergic P2Y receptors activate hemichannels to propagate inter-cellular calcium waves. ⺠P2X7 receptors activate multiple cell permeabilization pathways, including pannexin-1 hemichannels. ⺠Purinergic activation of hemichannels could represent a novel permeation pathway for different signaling metabolites.
