Gorilla, Gibbon, Marmoset. Predicted cross-reactivity based on sequence identity: Elephant (100%), Panda (95%), Platypus (95%).

P2Y1 is a Purinergic Receptor that causes a change in platelet shape and potentially leads to platelet aggregation by binding ADP, which results in the mobilization of intracellular calcium ions via activation of phospholipase C. This receptor also mediates the release of the relaxing factor nitric oxide and may be involved in the modulation of neuronal signal transmission. P2Y1 has been reported to be expressed in tissues throughout the body, particularly brain. ESTs have been isolated from human embryo, lung, and placenta libraries.

The addition of 50% glycerol is optional for those storing this antibody at -20C and not aliquoting smaller units. However, please note that glycerol may interrupt some downstream antibody applications and should be added with caution.

P2RY12 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.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.
