The values for D indicated as basal mobility are only shown for the trajectories that were linear, as described in Results. * indicates p values for paired t test between without-ATP and with-ATP conditions for measurements of apparent diffusion coefficient Dapp for the experiments indicated (see Results). Area refers to area of the trajectory measured for 30 s imaging experiments as described in Results. ** indicates that the trajectory area for the slowly mobile P2X4HA–YFP receptors was significantly greater than the corresponding value for P2X2FLAG–YFP receptors (p < 0.01). ND indicates not determined because, in the case of P2X2FLAG–YFP receptors expressed in HEK-293 cells, the distribution of D was unimodal with a single value shown as the mobile pool, which was significantly smaller than the corresponding value for D in neurons.
