Data Sheet

Background: G-protein coupled receptor 17 (GPR17) is closely related to the purinergic and cysteinyl-leukotriene receptor families. It is present on both neurons and a subset of oligiodendrocyte precursor cells. Recent studies have shown that GPR17 plays an important role in both sensing and repairing brain damage. Thus, GPR17 represents a potential new target for the treatment of traumatic brain injuries as well as neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis.

Application: Functional assays
