Data Sheet
Background: GPR86 or P2Y13 is a 333-amino acid 7 transmembrane protein that lacks a leader peptide but posseses a DRF motif. Northern blot and PCR analysis has shown GPR86 to be expressed highly in the spleen, with weaker expression in placenta, leukocytes, brain, placenta, lung, liver, spinal cord, thymus, small intestine, uterus, stomach, testis, fetal brain and adrenal glad and no expression in the pancreas, heart, kidney, skeletal muscle, ovary or fetal aorta. Communi et al determined that GPR86 shows a high affinity for ADP through pharmacologic charactization of GPR86-transfected human astrocytoma cells and CHO cells.
