P2ry12 - purinergic receptor P2Y, G-protein coupled 12

Enables G protein-coupled ADP receptor activity and G protein-coupled adenosine receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to ATP; regulation of microglial cell migration; and substrate-dependent cell migration, cell extension. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adenylate cyclase-modulating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; platelet activation; and positive regulation of ion transport. Located in cell body membrane and cell projection membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system and cerebral cortex. Used to study platelet-type bleeding disorder 8. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; cerebrovascular disease; peripheral artery disease; platelet-type bleeding disorder 8; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human P2RY12 (purinergic receptor P2Y12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
