Why and how do cells release ATP? It is not spilled energy. ATP becomes an extracellular
regulator. Various cellular responses are initiated by purinergic receptors and signaling
processes and are terminated by breakdown of ATP by ectonucleotidases. In epithelia, ATP
regulates salt and water transport; other effects may be longer lasting.
