P2Y receptor
SUBCLASS OF PURINERGIC P2 RECEPTORS WITH SIGNALING IS COUPLED THROUGH A G-PROTEIN SIGNALING MECHANISM
P2Y receptors; P 2 y; ADP receptor; P2y receptor; Adenosine diphosphate receptor
P2Y receptors are a family of purinergic G protein-coupled receptors, stimulated by nucleotides such as adenosine triphosphate, adenosine diphosphate, uridine triphosphate, uridine diphosphate and UDP-glucose. To date, 8 P2Y receptors have been cloned in humans: P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y6, P2Y11, P2Y12, P2Y13 and P2Y14.
