P2Y purinoceptor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the P2RY1 gene. [5]
The product of this gene, P2Y1 belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors. This family has several receptor subtypes with different pharmacological selectivity, which overlaps in some cases, for various adenosine and uridine nucleotides. This receptor functions as a receptor for extracellular ATP and ADP. In platelets binding to ADP leads to mobilization of intracellular calcium ions via activation of phospholipase C, a change in platelet shape, and probably to platelet aggregation. [6]
P2Y12 is a chemoreceptor for adenosine diphosphate (ADP) that belongs to the Gi class of a group of G protein-coupled (GPCR) purinergic receptors. This P2Y receptor family has several receptor subtypes with different pharmacological selectivity, which overlaps in some cases, for various adenosine and uridine nucleotides. The P2Y12 receptor is involved in platelet aggregation and is thus a biological target for the treatment of thromboembolisms and other clotting disorders. Two transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been identified for this gene.
Purinergic receptors, also known as purinoceptors, are a family of plasma membrane molecules that are found in almost all mammalian tissues. Within the field of purinergic signalling, these receptors have been implicated in learning and memory, locomotor and feeding behavior, and sleep. More specifically, they are involved in several cellular functions, including proliferation and migration of neural stem cells, vascular reactivity, apoptosis and cytokine secretion. These functions have not been well characterized and the effect of the extracellular microenvironment on their function is also poorly understood.
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.
Leukotriene B4 receptor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LTB4R gene.
P2X purinoceptor 1, also ATP receptor, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the P2RX1 gene.
P2Y purinoceptor 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the P2RY2 gene.
Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 4 also known as LPA4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LPAR4 gene. LPA4 is a G protein-coupled receptor that binds the lipid signaling molecule lysophosphatidic acid (LPA).
P2Y purinoceptor 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the P2RY6 gene.
P2Y purinoceptor 11 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the P2RY11 gene.
Somatostatin receptor type 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SSTR4 gene.
P2Y purinoceptor 14 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the P2RY14 gene.
Lysophosphatidic acid receptor 6, also known as LPA6, P2RY5 and GPR87, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LPAR6 gene. LPA6 is a G protein-coupled receptor that binds the lipid signaling molecule lysophosphatidic acid (LPA).
2-Oxoglutarate receptor 1 (OXGR1), also known as cysteinyl leukotriene receptor E (CysLTE) and GPR99, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OXGR1 gene. The Gene has recently been nominated as a receptor not only for 2-oxoglutarate but also for the three cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs), particularly leukotriene E4 (LTE4) and to far lesser extents LTC4 and LTE4. Recent studies implicate GPR99 as a cellular receptor which is activated by LTE4 thereby causing these cells to contribute to mediating various allergic and hypersensitivity responses.
