P2 Purinoceptor

Molecular classification
Receptor, Purinergic Receptor, Ion channel (P2X), G protein-coupled receptor (P2Y)
01

Overview

P2 purinoceptors are a family of cell surface receptors that respond to extracellular nucleotides like ATP, ADP, UTP, and UDP. They are divided into two main subtypes: P2X receptors (ionotropic, ligand-gated ion channels) and P2Y receptors (metabotropic, G protein-coupled receptors). These receptors play crucial roles in various physiological and pathophysiological processes, including renal function, insulin secretion, cardiovascular regulation, neurotransmission, and cancer progression.
