文摘
In the past five years, an extended series (P2Y1−n) of metabotropic nucleotide (P2) receptors has been cloned from vertebrate tissues; these receptors are activated by either ATP or UTP, or both nucleotides. While certain cloned P2Y receptors appear to correspond functionally to particular native P2 receptor phenotypes, such pharmacological phenotypes could be explained by either a combination of several members of the P2Y1−n series being coexpressed in the same tissue or the existence of novel, uncloned P2Y subtypes. Here, Brian King, Andrea Townsend-Nicholson and Geoffrey Burnstock review recent findings on the matter of pharmacological relationships between native P2 and cloned P2Y receptors.
