Ready-to-use ELISA kits are available for the detection of BDPLT8, an alias of the protein, purinergic receptor P2Y12. The official gene symbol is P2RY12. The protein, with a mass of 39.4 kDa and length of 342 residues, is reported to be membrane-associated. It is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family and may be known by other names, including: purinergic receptor P2Y G-protein coupled 12, purinergic receptor P2RY12, Gi-coupled ADP receptor HORK3, G-protein coupled receptor SP1999, ADP-glucose receptor, and P2Y purinoceptor 12, and ADPG-R.
