Abstract:
Purines and pyrimidines have widespread and specific action in many tissues of both invertebrates and vertebrates. These compounds have powerful physiological roles in both short-term actions of neurotransmission, exocrine and endocrine secretion, and regulation of immune cell function, and long-term actions of cell growth, cell differentiation and proliferation in the development and regeneration.
