Pannexin Channels Mediate the Acquisition of Myogenic Commitment in C2C12 Reserve Cells Promoted by P2 Receptor Activation

The acquisition of myoblast commitment to the myogenic linage requires rises in intracellular free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i).Putative cell membrane pathways involved in these [Ca2+]i increments are P2 receptors (P2Rs) as well as connexin (Cx) and/or pannexin Miniatures Kit (Panx) hemichannels and channels (Cx HChs and Panx Chs), respectively, wh
