Schematic presentation of purinergic chemical transmission. VNUT is present in secretory vesicles and is responsible for vesicular storage of nucleotides. The accumulated nucleotides, in particular ATP, are exocytosed upon stimulation and bind to purinoceptors at the surface of target cells, which then triggers intracellular signal transmission.
