Abstract

Extracellular A TP is known to function as a neurotransmitter and as a modulator in the variety of cell types. In PC12 cells, extracellular A TP elevates [Ca$\^$2+/]j through receptor-operated Ca$\^$2+/ channels and through the activation of phospholipase C, thereby facilitating the secretion of neurotransmitters.(omitted)
