P2Y Purinergic Receptors, Endothelial Dysfunction, and Cardiovascular Diseases [PDF]
Purinergic G-protein-coupled receptors are ancient and the most abundant group of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The wide distribution of purinergic receptors in the cardiovascular system, together with the expression of multiple receptor subtypes ...

Changes in P2Y Purinergic Receptor Expression in the Ciliary Body in a Murine Model of Glaucoma [PDF]
Glaucoma is a neuropathology, often accompanied by an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), which can lead to blindness. Since DBA/2J mice develop glaucoma, several studies of the physiopathology of glaucoma have been reported in this animal model.

P2Y purinergic receptors: New targets for analgesic and antimigraine drugs [PDF]
Millions of individuals worldwide suffer from acute and, more severely, chronic pain conditions (e.g., neuropathic pain, and migraine). The latter bear tremendous personal, familial, and social costs, since sufferers and their relatives undergo a complete turnaround of their lives with the search of relief from pain becoming their pivotal thought ...

Identification of a P2Y-purinergic receptor that inhibits adenylyl cyclase.
Adenine nucleotides inhibited isoproterenol- and forskolin-stimulated cyclic AMP accumulation in C6-2B rat glioma cells. Inhibition occurred in the presence of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, and no effect of adenine nucleotides was observed in direct measurements of phosphodiesterase activity in intact cells.

Multiple P2Y receptors couple to calcium-dependent, chloride channels in smooth muscle cells of the rat pulmonary artery [PDF]
Uridine 5'-triphosphate (UTP) and uridine 5'-diphosphate (UDP) act via P2Y receptors to evoke contraction of rat pulmonary arteries, whilst adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) acts via P2X and P2Y receptors.

Using antibodies against P2Y and P2X receptors in purinergic signaling research [PDF]
The broad expression pattern of the G protein-coupled P2Y receptors has demonstrated that these receptors are fundamental determinants in many physiological responses, including neuromodulation, vasodilation, inflammation, and cell migration. P2Y receptors couple either G(q) or G(i) upon activation, thereby activating different signaling pathways ...
