It has recently been shown that the P2X4 receptor plays a positive inotropic action in cardiac muscle, where it appears to have an important role in modulating the progression of heart failure. Stimulated by these findings, the aim of this study was to determine the expression, localization, and physiological significance of P2X4 expression in skeletal muscle.

Abstract

It has recently been shown that the P2X4 receptor plays a positive inotropic action in cardiac muscle, where it appears to have an important role in modulating the progression of heart failure. Stimulated by these findings, the aim of this study was to determine the expression, localization, and physiological significance of P2X4 expression in skeletal muscle.
