“…The Dogma: IP 3 R2 the Sole Functional Astrocytic IP 3 R There are three mammalian IP 3 R subtypes, i.e., IP 3 R1 (Furuichi et al, 1989;Mignery et al, 1989;Yamada et al, 1994), IP 3 R2 (Mignery et al, 1990;Südhof et al, 1991;Yamamoto-Hino et al, 1994;Iwai et al, 2005), and IP 3 R3 (Blondel et al, 1993;Yamamoto-Hino et al, 1994;Iwai et al, 2005). Among them, IP 3 R2 has widely been accepted as the only functional IP 3 R subtype present in astrocytes, and consequently, the IP 3 R2KO model mouse has been at the center of numerous important studies (Agulhon et al, 2010;Takata et al, 2011;Chen et al, 2012;Navarrete et al, 2012Navarrete et al, , 2019Cao et al, 2013;Perez-Alvarez et al, 2014;Petravicz et al, 2014;Gómez-Gonzalo et al, 2015Mariotti et al, 2016;Monai et al, 2016;Perea et al, 2016;Martin-Fernandez et al, 2017;Tanaka et al, 2017).…”
