P2Y purinoceptor 2, member of the class A family of seven-transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors P2Y2 belongs to the P2Y receptor family of purinergic G-protein coupled receptors and is implicated to play a role in the control of the cell cycle of endometrial carcinoma cells. The P2Y receptor family is composed of eight subtypes, which are activated by naturally occurring extracellular nucleotides such as ATP, ADP, UTP, UDP, and UDP-glucose. These eight receptors are ubiquitous in human tissues and can be further classified into two subfamilies based on sequence homology and second messenger coupling: a subfamily of five P2Y1-like receptors (P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y6, and P2Y11Rs) that are coupled to G(q) protein to activate phospholipase C (PLC) and a second subfamily of three P2Y12-like receptors (P2Y12, P2YR13, and P2Y14Rs) that are coupled to G(i) protein to inhibit adenylate cyclase. Several cloned subtypes, such as P2Y3, P2Y5, and P2Y7-10, are not functional mammalian nucleotide receptors. The native agonists for P2Y receptors are: ATP (P2Y2, P2Y12), ADP (P2Y1, P2Y12, and P2Y13), UTP (P2Y2, P2Y4), UDP (P2Y6, P2Y14), and UDP-glucose (P2Y14). |
