Cloning and functional expression of a brain G-protein-coupled ATP receptor.
???displayArticle.abstract???
A cDNA encoding a novel member of the G-protein-coupled receptor (GCR) superfamily, an ATP receptor, has been isolated from an embryonic chick whole brain cDNA library by hybridization screening. The encoded protein has a sequence of 362 amino acids (41 kDa) and shares no more than 27% amino acid identity with any known GCR. When expressed as a complementary RNA (cRNA) in Xenopus oocytes a slowly-developing inward current was observed in response to application of ATP. The pharmacology of this expressed protein defines it as a P2Y purinoceptor.
