Quiz

You must score 80% in order to receive a passing grade and CME credit for the course.
1. Extracellular ATP is an important paracrine signaling molecule participating in regulation of many renal functions(Required)
2. Extracellular ATP exerts its effects by activating distinct P2 receptors, P2X and P2Y(Required)
3. Native renal tubules are able to secrete ATP(Required)
4. Extracellular ATP are rapidly degraded to other nucleotides or nucleosides by surface-located and soluble enzymes(Required)
5. Excessive extracellular ATP levels contribute to pathophysiological processes such as inflammation, cell proliferation and apoptosis(Required)
6. Activation of P2 receptors by extracellular ATP does not affect intracellular calcium ions(Required)
7. The pattern and distribution of P2 receptors along the renal tubule have not been reported(Required)
8. Targeting extracellular ATP signaling, particularly through the P2X7 receptor, has considerable translational potential(Required)
9. The role of P2 receptors in the development and persistence of hypertension has been steadily gaining recognition(Required)
10. No P2 receptor inhibitors are available for clinical use and are under evaluation as immunomodulatory agents(Required)
