Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of P2RY1 in human tissue homogenates, cell lysates.
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 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.
