Аннотация:Single channel properties of human P2X(4) receptors expressed in human embryonic kidney cells have been investigated by outside-out mode patch clamp recordings. P2X(4) channel activity was characterized by very fast kinetics. The current-voltage relationship was strongly non-linear at potentials <-100 mV. A slope conductance of approximate to 9 pS was estimated at the approximately linear part of the current-voltage relation (>-100 mV). External Mg2+ reversibly decreased the amplitude of ATP-evoked single channel currents in a concentration-dependent man ner but independent of the membrane potential. Additionally, extracellular Mg2+ shortened the mean open time whereas the mean closed time was not affected. Thus, Mg2+ ions are proposed to inhibit the function of human P2X(4) receptors by means of an open-channel block with a Mg2+ binding site at the exterior surface of the pore.
