P2Y1 should not yet be targeted for clopidogrel-like effects; leaves open a distinct adenylyl cyclase-coupled ADP receptor.
This preclinical study demonstrates that the P2Y1 receptor is not the target of clopidogrel, pointing to the existence of another P2Y receptor specifically coupled to adenylyl cyclase inhibition.
Hechler et al. (1998) studied this question.
