Abstract

Uridine and uracil nucleotides are involved in the regulation of various cell functions. Here, Roland Seifert and Günter Schultz review the evidence that, rather than by binding to purinoceptors, pyrimidine nucleotides exert their effects by binding to distinct pyrimidinoceptors, which are coupled to pertussis toxin-sensitive G proteins in human phagocytes. However, many questions remain to be ...
