Description

P2RY6 encodes a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) for uridine diphosphate (UDP). It is involved in immune regulation, inflammation, and phagocytosis. Activation of P2RY6 by UDP stimulates phospholipase C and intracellular calcium mobilization.

Protein Summary

P2RY6 is a 328-amino acid GPCR with seven transmembrane domains. It binds extracellular UDP and couples to Gq/11 proteins, leading to phospholipase C activation and calcium mobilization. The receptor is expressed on immune cells and epithelial cells, playing roles in chemotaxis, cytokine release, and phagocytosis.
