    basic FUNCTION
  • may be involved in cell ion homeostasis
  • G-protein signaling, coupled to IP3 second messenger (phospholipase C activating)
  • playing a role as a morphogen receptor potentiating neurotrophin signaling in neuronal development and regeneration
  • may participate in control of the cell cycle of endometrial carcinoma cells
  • involved in signal amplification, controlling ATP gradient sensing and migration of neutrophils
  • involved in nucleotide-induced primary granule release from neutrophils, requiring fibrinogen
  • G-protein-coupled receptor activated by extracellular nucleotides, undergoes desensitization at many tissues, including the vascular endothelium
  • mediate Ca2+ signaling in duodenocytes and contribute to duodenal mucosal bicarbonate secretion
  • extracellular nucleotides, via P2RY2 and P2RY6, regulate neutrophil migration by controlling TLR2-induced IL8 release from human monocytes
  • mediate metalloprotease-dependent phosphorylation of epidermal growth factor receptor and ERBB3 in salivary gland cells
  • P2RY2 plays a major biological role in the corneal injury response and repair mechanisms
  • major purinergic receptor in human vascular endothelial cells that mediates the cellular actions of ATP linked to vasorelaxation
  • important roles of P2RY2 and ADRBK1 in chondrocyte mechanotransduction
  • mediates tissue factor expression in human coronary artery endothelial cells
  • P2RY2, and P2RY1 operate in tandem in inner medullary collecting duct cells to provide an adaptive mechanism for enhancing urinary NaCl excretion in the setting of high-dietary NaCl intake

    protein
  • P2RY2/FLNA interaction selectively regulates spreading and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells
  • plasma membrane distribution of P2RY2 is transregulated by EGFR, revealing an unsuspected functional interplay that controls both the membrane distribution and the vasomotor activity of the P2RY2 in intact human blood vessels
  • interacting with OTOP1
  • CEBPB is a novel regulator of P2RY2 expression
