List of introduced TAG mutations in P2X2 receptor for VCF analysis.

Mutations were introduced one at a time into 96 positions within the extracellular domain (ECD) near the ATP-binding site and extracellular linker, transmembrane domains (TMs), intracellular N-terminal, and intracellular C-terminal. ATP application ranging from 10 µM, 30 µM, or 100 µM unless otherwise stated. (+) indicates there was either ATP-evoked fluorescence (F) signal change, voltage-evoked F change, ATP-evoked current (I) change, or voltage-evoked I change. (-) indicates negative results. (**) indicates mutants which have a very low expression level, so that the reliable VCF analysis could not be undertaken. (***) indicates fast current decay. (--) indicates that the subsequent recording could not be performed, as a result of fast current decay. (n.d.) indicates not determined.
