摘要: Astroglial cells express many neurotransmitter receptors; the receptors to glutamate and ATP being most abundant. Here, we provide a concise overview on expression main properties of astroglial (ionotropic represented by AMPA NMDA subtypes) metabotropic (mainly mGluR5 mGluR3 purinoceptors (adenosine A1, A2A, A2B, A3 types, ionotropic P2X1/5 P2X7 subtypes, P2Y purinoceptors). We also discuss role these in glial physiology pathophysiology.
