01

Overview

P2Y purinoceptor 2 (P2Y2) is a G protein-coupled receptor activated by ATP and UTP. It plays a role in various physiological processes including chloride secretion, adipocyte differentiation, immune modulation, and cell cycle control. It is implicated in diseases like cystic fibrosis, obesity, and cancer, making it a potential therapeutic target. However, current antagonists face challenges related to selectivity and bioavailability.
