1 One of the receptors involved in ADP-induced platelet activation is the P2Y12 receptor, which is a target for antithrombotic drugs. Adenosine Diphosphate purinergic receptor P2Y12 Homo sapiens
2 Anesthetized rabbits were treated with the selective P2Y12 antagonists AR-C69931 MX (3 microg x kg x min(-1) IV) or clopidogrel (25 mg/kg orally). cangrelor purinergic receptor P2Y12 Homo sapiens
3 CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate that ADP and its P2Y12 receptor are involved in thrombus growth and especially in the formation of emboli on the downstream side of the initial thrombus. Adenosine Diphosphate purinergic receptor P2Y12 Homo sapiens
