Abstract:
Review of modulating role of the ATP in neuro-muscular junction is based on experiments and literature references. Endogenous ATP was found to inhibit the transmitter release due to a direct interaction with the P2 receptors on the motor nerve endings, and to modulate development of postsynaptic potentiation due to interaction with cholinoreceptors of the postsynaptic membrane.
