Separates P2Y1 from adenylyl cyclase-coupled ADP receptor in animal platelets; leaves open unidentified receptor for targeted antithrombotic research.
The P2Y1 receptor is necessary for ADP-induced platelet aggregation and calcium mobilization, but another unidentified receptor is responsible for adenylyl cyclase inhibition.
Hechler et al. (1998) studied this question. A2P5P and A3P5P (P2Y1 antagonists) was evaluated on ADP-induced platelet shape change, aggregation, and calcium movements. The P2Y1 receptor, coupled to intracellular calcium mobilization, is necessary to trigger ADP-induced platelet aggregation, though another unidentified receptor is required for its completion.
