Gene Summary
- Human (64805): The product of this gene belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors. This family has several receptor subtypes with different pharmacological selectivity, which overlaps in some cases, for various adenosine and uridine nucleotides. This receptor is involved in platelets aggregation, and is a potential target for the treatment of thromboembolisms and other clotting disorders. Two transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
- Rat (64803): receptor activated by platelet ADP release; mediates adenylate cyclase inhibition and is a target of antithrombotic drugs [RGD]
