Purinoceptor P2Y12 (P2Y12)

Target
P2Y12
Molecular classification
G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), Receptor, Rhodopsin-like GPCR
01

Overview

The P2Y12 purinoceptor is a G protein-coupled receptor primarily functioning as a chemoreceptor for ADP, mediating platelet aggregation. It is a key regulator of hemostasis and thrombosis and is expressed on platelets and microglia. It is a target for antiplatelet therapy in thromboembolic diseases. Genetic polymorphisms are associated with cardiovascular and neurological conditions.
