Description
Product Characteristics:
P2Y purinoceptor 11 (P2Y11) is a 374 amino acid protein belonging to the G-protein coupled receptor one family. P2Y11 is a multi-pass cell membrane protein that acts as a receptor for both ATP and ATD coupled to G proteins. Due to these interactions, P2Y11 is involved in phosphatidylinositol-calcium and adenylyl cyclase pathways. Induced by DMSO and retinoic acid, P2Y11 is highly expressed in spleen tissue. A putative trans-splicing event involving the gene that encodes P2Y11 and an upstream gene encoding PPAN has been found to result in a fusion protein, designated PPAN-P2RY11.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: P2RY11, P2Y purinoceptor 11, P2Y11, P2Y11 receptor, P2Y11_HUMAN, Purinergic receptor P2Y G protein coupled 11, Purinergic receptor P2Y11.
Target Information: 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 coupled to the stimulation of the phosphoinositide and adenylyl cyclase pathways and behaves as a selective purinoceptor. Naturally occuring read-through transcripts, resulting from intergenic splicing between this gene and an immediately upstream gene (PPAN, encoding peter pan homolog), have been found. The PPAN-P2RY11 read-through mRNA is ubiquitously expressed and encodes a fusion protein that shares identity with each individual gene product. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
