Description
Product Characteristics:
The product of this gene 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 is responsive to uridine nucleotides, partially responsive to ATP, and not responsive to ADP. P2Y4 expression has been documented in blood, bone, heart, lung, pancreas, placenta, and umbilical cord.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: NRU, Nucleotide receptor uridine, P2P, P2RY4, P2Y Purinoceptor 4, P2Y4, P2Y4R, Pyrimidinergic receptor P2Y G protein coupled 4, UNR, Uridine nucleotide receptor.
