Key result
Targeted disruption of the P2Y1 receptor in mice significantly prolonged bleeding time (225.7 vs 126.6 seconds, p<0.0001) and reduced mortality from acute thromboembolism by 50%.

P2Y1 deletion may increase bleeding while halving thromboembolism mortality in mice; leaves open its viability as an antithrombotic target.

Absolute Event Rate: 225.7% vs 126.6%
p-value: p=<0.0001
The P2Y(1) receptor is essential for ADP-induced platelet aggregation and thrombosis, identifying it as a potential target for novel antithrombotic drugs.
Léon et al. (1999) studied Thrombosis and Hemostasis (n=123). P2Y1 receptor knockout vs. Wild-type (P2Y1+/+) was evaluated on Bleeding time (seconds) (p=<0.0001). Targeted disruption of the P2Y1 receptor in mice significantly prolonged bleeding time (225.7 vs 126.6 seconds, p<0.0001) and reduced mortality from acute thromboembolism by 50%.
