OverviewNCBI Gene

The product of this gene belongs to the family of P2 receptors, which is activated by extracellular nucleotides and subdivided into P2X ligand-gated ion channels and P2Y G-protein coupled receptors. This family has several receptor subtypes with different pharmacological selectivity, which overlaps in some cases, for various adenosine and uridine nucleotides. This receptor, found on many cell types, is activated by ATP and UTP and is reported to be overexpressed on some cancer cell types. It is involved in many cellular functions, such as proliferation, apoptosis and inflammation. Three transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against P2RY2 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads P2RY2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against P2RY2 could matter depends on whether native P2RY2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

P2RY2 is annotated at the cell surface, where native P2RY2 is exposed to circulating antibodies and is a prime autoantibody target that could block, deplete, or overstimulate it.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label P2RY2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
