                                        Comment: GW791343 is an negative allosteric modulator of the human P2X7 receptor, but is a positive modulator of the rat orthologue [1]. Mutational studies suggest that amino acid 95 is a key residue in determining the species difference in antagonist effects [2]. The position 95 residue is phenylalanine in human P2X7 receptors, and leucine in rat.
