Function
- receptor for extracellular adenine nucleotides including ATP & ADP
- in platelets, binding to ADP leads to mobilization of intracellular Ca+2 via activation of phospholipase C, a change in platelet shape, & probably to platelet aggregation
Structure
belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family
Compartment
Expression
- repressed by the P2Y1 receptor-specific antagonists A3P5PS, A3P5P & A2P5P; these inhibit Ca+2 mobilization & shape change in platelets
