Notes: 2-Methylthioadenosine triphosphate is an agonist of the purinergic P2X2 and P2Y1 receptors.{33411,33412} It is also an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase C (GC-C) in rat intestinal mucosal membranes (Ki = 360 µM in the presence of E. coli heat-stable enterotoxin).{66334} 2-Methylthioadenosine triphosphate (1 µM) induces calcium influx in primary rat arcuate nucleus neurons in a fluorescence-based reporter assay.{33411} It increases inositol phosphate accumulation in 1321N1 astrocytoma cells expressing human P2Y1 receptors (EC50 = 51 nM).{33412} 2-Methylthioadenosine triphosphate inhibits uroguanylin-induced increases in urine flow and sodium excretion in rats.{66333}
