Our target: nfP2X7
Normaltrimer
conformation
Abnormaltrimer
conformation
P2X7 is a ligand-gated non-selective cation channel
P2X7 forms a trimer which opens an ion channel in response to rapid stimulation and opens a large molecular weight pore in response to prolonged ATP stimulation
Exposed nfP2X7 target
The nfP2X7target
Some forms of P2X7 can not form a large molecular weight pore in response to ATP.
These we term nfP2X7 (non functional) BUT critical signalling functionality is retained
