P2Y receptors are members of a large family of G protein-coupled receptors that is classified into five functionally characterized human gene products (P2Y1, P2Y2, P2Y4, P2Y6, and P2Y11). P2RY1 or P2Y1 is a GPCR that binds to ADP and ATP to activate G_q. P2Y1 express on vascular endothelium and smooth muscle, and mediate vascular tone both in the resting state and in thrombosis, when platelet-derived ATP and ADP are present at high concentrations. In addition, activation of P2Y1 expressed on platelets leads to ADP-induced shape changes and aggregation.
