01

Overview

P2Y12 purinoceptor 12 (P2RY12) is a G protein-coupled receptor that primarily functions as a chemoreceptor for adenosine diphosphate (ADP). Highly expressed on platelets and microglia, it mediates ADP-induced platelet aggregation and regulates microglial actions. It is a major therapeutic target for antithrombotic drugs.
