The ATP-exporting channel Pannexin 1 promotes CD8 T cell effector and memory responses.

Sensing of extracellular ATP (eATP) controls CD8 T cell function. Their accumulation can occur through export by specialized molecules, such as the release channel Pannexin 1 (Panx1). Whether Panx1 controls CD8 T cell immune responses , however, has not been previously addressed.
