✦ Synopsis


The P2Y receptor on turkey erythrocyte membranes was the first P2 receptor to be shown to activate phospholipase C (PLC) in a strictly guanine nucleotide-dependent manner and remains the only G protein-coupled P2 receptor for which G protein-coupling kinetics have been defined. This membrane receptor has provided a model system for detailed pharmacological analyses of a series of chain-extended 2-thioether derivatives of adenine nucleotides that exhibit remarkable selectivity and potency for P2Y receptors. This model system also has led recently to identification of a novel series of P2 receptor antagonists. The turkey erythrocyte receptor is the species homologue of the chick P2Y1 receptor originally cloned by Webb and coworkers [Webb et al., 19931. We also have cloned the human homologue of the P2Y1 receptor, which exhibits identical pharmacological and second messenger signaling properties to that of the avian P2Y1 receptor.

## Abstract The increasing number of ATP‐ and UTP‐sensitive membrane receptors identified by cloning represent either ligand‐activated ion channels (P2X) or G‐protein‐coupled receptors (P2Y). Adenosine, ATP, and UTP have potential application in the management of pain, cancer, and some cardiovascul

The biological actions of extracellular nucleotides are exerted via two families of P2 receptors, P2X and P2Y. The metabotropic P2Y receptors comprise at least 7 distinct subtypes, which have been cloned from a number of species. However, none of the P2Y receptor proteins have been visualised yet in
