P2Y receptors

[nelson1990911]

could anyone tell me functions and mechanisms of P2Yreceptors in detail?

[AJS]

the P2Y receptor is found in various cell types throughout the body, and exerts its effects through an array of G-coupled signalling cascades. (most commonly through phospholipase C or adenylyl cyclase)

--- To determine its function focus on what location you are interested in.

--- for example in the pancreas evidence suggest P2Y may stimulate epithelial cells, whereas in the vascular system it stimulates vasoconstriction

how can i find more evidences to support it such as their applications? Because i have a project about P2Y receptors. thx for your help.

nelson1990911, you're going to have to do the bulk of the work yourself here. AJS has already given you a wealth of information; it's your turn now.
