Molecular basis for ADP-induced platelet activation, I : Evidence for three distinct ADP receptors on human platelets

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
Results clearly demonstrate the presence of two distinct platelet ADP receptors in addition to the P2X receptor: one coupled to adenylyl cyclase and the other coupled to mobilization of calcium from intracellular stores through inositol trisphosphates.

Receptors for Purines and Pyrimidines

TL;DR: In this review particular emphasis is placed on the discrepancy between the concentrations ofadenosine, ADP, and ATP in the purine receptors of UDP and UTP.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of the platelet ADP receptor targeted by antithrombotic drugs.

TL;DR: The cloning of this receptor, designated P2Y12, is described and evidence that a patient with a bleeding disorder has a defect in this gene is provided, which should facilitate the development of better antiplatelet agents to treat cardiovascular diseases.

International Union of Pharmacology LVIII: Update on the P2Y G Protein-Coupled Nucleotide Receptors: From Molecular Mechanisms and Pathophysiology to Therapy

TL;DR: There have been many advances in knowledge about different aspects of P2Y receptor signaling since the last review published by the International Union of Pharmacology subcommittee, and more receptor subtypes have been cloned and characterized and most orphan receptors deorphanized, so that it is now possible to provide a basis for a future subdivision of P 2Y receptor sub types.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular distribution and functions of P2 receptor subtypes in different systems.

TL;DR: This review is aimed at providing readers with a comprehensive reference article about the distribution and function of P2 receptors in all the organs, tissues, and cells in the body.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nucleotide receptors: an emerging family of regulatory molecules in blood cells.

TL;DR: During inflammation or vascular damage, nucleotides may provide an important mechanism involved in the activation of leukocytes and platelets.

A conserved AU sequence from the 3′ untranslated region of GM-CSF mRNA mediates selective mRNA degradation

TL;DR: It is proposed that the AU sequences are the recognition signal for an mRNA processing pathway which specifically degrades the mRNAs for certain lymphokines, cytokines, and proto-oncogenes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inositol phosphates and cell signalling

TL;DR: The subtlety of calcium regulation by inositol phosphates is emphasized by recent studies that have revealed oscillations in calcium concentration which are perhaps part of a frequency-encoded second-messenger system.

Nomenclature and classification of purinoceptors

TL;DR: The evidence is now compelling that ATP plays important physiological and/ or pathophysiological roles in a variety of biological systems, and the presence of receptors for ADP and adenosine (presumably A2) receptors exist on platelets is compelling.

Is there a basis for distinguishing two types of P2-purinoceptor?

TL;DR: Differences in the structure of the P2-purinoceptor in various tissues may be useful in the development of drugs for the treatment of vascular, gastrointestinal and urinoglenital disorders.

Adenosine Diphosphate in Red Cells as a Factor in the Adhesiveness of Human Blood Platelets

TL;DR: Adenosine Diphosphate in Red Cells as a Factor in the Adhesiveness of Human Blood Platelets and the Adhesion of Human blood Platelets is studied.
