Purinergic receptor P2X7 is an ATP-activated ion channel that allows potassium efflux from cells when activated, which can trigger inflammasome activation in response to excessive extracellular ATP.
El receptor purinérgico P2X7 es un canal iónico activado por ATP que permite la salida de potasio de las células cuando se activa, lo que puede desencadenar la activación del inflammasoma en respuesta a un ATP extracelular excesivo.
