Agonist potencies reflect stimulation of phospholipase C, unless noted, and were calculated using a four-parameter logistic equation and the GraphPad software package (GraphPad, San Diego, CA). EC50 values (mean ± standard error) represent the concentration at which 50% of the maximal effect is achieved. Relative efficacies (%) were determined by comparison with the effect produced by a maximal effective concentration of reference agonist (UDP-glucose, 1) in the same experiment. If no maximal effect is given, then 100% efficacy was achieved. N = 3.
