P2RY10 explained

Putative P2Y purinoceptor 10 is a protein that, in humans, is encoded by the P2RY10 gene.^{[1] [2] [3]}

Function

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the family of G-protein coupled receptors that is preferentially activated by adenosine and uridine nucleotides. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein isoform have been found for this gene.
