Abstract
With the unequivocal demonstration that purine and pyrimidine nucleosides and nucleotides function as key extracellular messengers in all mammalian tissue systems (Ralevic and Burnstock 1998), a major challenge has been to understand the factors that govern purine availability in the extracellular space and the dynamics of the process. The focus of the present chapter is to summarize recent knowledge on purine release under various physiological and pathophysiological conditions.
